chances are it should be.

Because these names represent people who own the electric light and power companies - and you're probably one of those owners!

IF IT'S NOT -

It's like this: about three million people from all walks of life - teachers, housewives, doctors, clerks, mechanics, farmers - put their savings into companies like ours. They're direct owners.

There are also seventy-five million people who, through their life insurance policies and savings bank accounts, are indirect owners in this way: The banks and insurance companies which want to invest your money wisely, put much of it into these same electric companies! So, you see, these companies that serve nearly everybody are owned by nearly everybody!

HERMAN POLLARD THOMAS This is no time for evaluating the career of a man as youthful and virile as Dr. Herman Pollard Thomas, '17, head of the department of economics and applied economics in the University of Richmond. In fact, after only twenty-five years of service as a member of the faculty, he has before him thirteen fruitful years before he reaches the retirement age, years which will bring new laurels .

Any enumeration of his accomplishments makes an impressive list. But it is not in these achievements but in his human qualities that his greatness lies. He is the real embodiment of a phrase which has been overworked and too often carelessly applied. He is, in the highest, loftiest concept of the expression, a Christian gentleman.

A thorough teacher, colloquial, jovial with students who do an honest day's work, he can be as stern as the hillsides of his native Southwest Virginia with those who would shirk, with those who would whine rather than work for grades, with those who are looking for a short cut to a degree.

Of rugged stock, he is the son of the Rev. John B. F. Thomas, '95, who is still a power in the Baptist denomination in his community. In addition .to his bachelor 's degree from the University of Richmond, Herman Thomas has both an M.A . and a Ph.D. from Virginia. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and of other honorary societies. He has written for professional journals , he is in demand as a speaker on subjects in the realm of economics.

But, as has been said, his greatness is found in none of these attributes , fine as they are. Herman Pollard Thomas was the sort of professor Dr. Boatwright had in mind when he said that "Christianity is caught as well as taught." "In his association with students on the campus and in the classroom, he has been guided by the precept of the greatest of all teachers: 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth will make you free.' "

MALCOLM U. PITT The best refutation of the libel that "n!Ce guys don't win" is Malcolm U. Pitt, '18, who has been a nice guy for fifty-six years and a winner since his own student days when he played football, baseball , and ran on the track team .

Strangely enough he never played basketball, the game with which he was so closely associated and in which he produced a great many of Virginia's finest players. When he stepped down as basketball coach last month after tutoring the Varsity for eighteen years, he was dean of basketball coaches in the Old Dominion and in the Southern Conference.

The "Silver Fox" said simply that he was tired, that the rigors of serving as athletic director and as coach of both basketball and baseball were too much . In this cont ention the Athletic Council agreed after receiving his assurance he would remain on as athletic director and continue as baseball coach.

The 1952 baseball team was another typical Pitt team. It was a winner, with team spirit and cohesion making up for a woeful lack of hitting power. The Spiders won the championship of the northern division of the Southern Conference and Pitt's admiring colleagues officially proclaimed him "coach of the year" in the Old Dominion .

Mr. Pitt's well -wishers hope that the "Silver Fox" will be prominent in the University of Richmond athletic picture for many mote years. They like him because he can win gracefully and , when he must lose, conduct himself as a gentleman should. No administrative official has ever had to apologize, no alumnus has ever had to feel ashamed of the conduct of Mac Pitt in the direction of University of Richmond teams.

It is not surprising that he is held in high esteem by his colleagues and by the legion of University of Richmond men who have learned how to play baseball and have learned how to play a much more important game, long after the spiked shoes have been put aside.

An Adventurein World Understanding

By DANIEL H. KRUGER, '49 UST ONE YEAR AGO a unique aspect JGermany of the general orientation program for was inaugurated at the University of Wisconsin. The Industrial Relations Center, in cooperation with the School for Workers, conducted a program for the State Department for twenty-five young German industrial relations trainees. They spent nine months in this country acquainting themselves with the methods, practices and procedures which sustain a free society.

The basic purpose of this orientation program was to enable young Germans showing potentiality for leadership to study and observe the democratic environment in the United States with emphasis on labor management relations. Rigorous formal education was not contemplated; instead, emphasis was placed on extensive experience and general knowledge . Most of these potential leaders were forced to leave school at too early an age to have obtained the education necessary to meet the academic standards of most of the German reorientation programs. Most of the trainees participating in this project, however , came from a class that traditionally has not received higher education in Germany. Thus the project was designed to include the participation of this segment of German society in the reorientation program.

In this group there were twenty-three men and two women. Although their average age was twenty-two , they wer e persons of serious purpose whose maturity belied their age.

They all spoke English with varying degrees of proficiency . In order to qualify for this program they had to pass various selection board s both of the State Departmen t and of their own country.

Because of their varied educat ional backgrounds, it was not possible to fit them into regular univ ersity courses. It was necessary to set up a special program designed for their particular needs . In add ition to their work in labor relations, they studied American government and Basic American institutions . They attended the Freshman Forum , which centered around American democracy, its problems and prospects. Various aspects of American culture were discussed in a special seminar.

Classroom presentation and discussion were but one part of the program. The classroom work was supplemented by many field trips about Wisconsin and neighboring states.

On these trips the trainees had opportunity to visit industrial plants and to investigate many of our institutions and social processes.

At the outset of each tour, a qualified person explained the various operations they were to see. At the conclusion of the tour, there was a discussion period during which the trainees had opportunity to raise questions about things which they saw. The per -

sonnel manager or labor relations director explained the industrial relations setup in the plant and then answered the trainees' questions concerning industrial relations in the plant.

On campus, the trainees live in dormitories, each with an American as roommate. The trainees participated in many aspects of campus life. They were members of the Student Halls Association which is the self-government agency of the students living in the halls. In all respects, they were treated as regular members of the university community. Their roommates helped the trainees to gain an insight into what makes America.

The trainees discussed with them questions about their work at the University, about life on the campus, and conditions in their respective home towns.

On their field trips to industrial plants, an attempt was made to cover representative firms in as many industries as possible. On these trips the trainees were able to correlate what they learned in the classroom with what they saw in the shop. In the question and answer periods management people as well as labor representatives joined ranks to present the complete picture of labor relations in that particular plant. Seeing labor union and management representatives seat-

of the State Department 's pro-

and the University of Wiscon-

sin where the program was centered.

In its broadest aspects, his task was to make the trainees' stay in America " as educational and in-

that

Speci~cally,

there were

such matters as arranging classes and curriculum, getting speakers for the seminar s, arrang-

ing field trips . In addition, he was responsible for a series of radio ,programs for the Voice of America in which the German students told of their experiences in the United States.

at Wis-

ed at the same table answering their questions was quite an adventure in American democracy for these trainees. By and large, these sessions showed how labor has become an accepted partner in industrial government.

Madison, where the University is located , was utilized as a laboratory to see how many of our institutions operate. The group visited meetings of the City Council where they heard a bill on anti-discrimination being discussed. A trip to the police station revealed the relationships between city, state and federal law enforcement agencies. In their investigation of the educational system, they visited an elementary school and a high school during which time the principals of the schools explained the operation of their respective institutions. On their tour of the elementary school they inspected the orthopedic division, where the crippled children of the city take special work. They visited the local newspaper where the editor explained the operations of the paper. At the City Hall they met th e Mayor who discussed city government in operation. Before they returned to Germany in June , the trainees visited many of our public institutions in an effort to see how all these fit into the pattern of life in America.

As for the academic side of the program, it soon became evident that the formal lecture system was less effective than with American students. These trainees wanted to know what makes America. Particular problems had to be discussed against the background of the entire picture in order to show how interrelated our society is. The trainees were encouraged to ask questions.

This was quite an exciting experience for them for they were not accustomed to ask their teachers questions. They had the opportunity to make counter declarations if they desired. Obviously, it was difficult, if not impossible, to follow a well-defined set of lectur e notes because these questions often led to new areas not immediately associated with the topic under discussion. This situation marked a departure from regularly scheduled classes because many of the University courses in the social sciences are based upon the assumption that the student is somewhat familiar with life in the United States. At the same time, thi s provided a challenge to the teachers in the program and a new adventure in pedagogical techniques.

Thus all participants in the program- ¡ trainees, faculty, union and management representatives-were a part of this unique experiment in world understanding. Though these trainees studied and were housed at the University , the entire state and country was their laboratory. Not only were members of the faculty of the University their instructors, but every citizen they met helped them to get an insight into America.

f!o-mmencement ALTHOUGH

FOR THE FIRST TIME

since 1948

ÂŁl. the number of graduates dropped below the 300-mark, the University of Richmond closed its 122nd session on the note of optimism .

The administrative attitude was summed up by President George M. Modlin who told the board of trustees at its annual meeting that he was confident "this university is moving forward in a sound, progressive manner which assures it a future of promise and achievement. " Earlier, in addressing the alumni, he had cited five significant events of the year, chief among them the bequest of $2,700,000 from A. D. Williams . He cited too, the establishment of two Reserve Officers' Training Corps units (Air Force and Army Transportation) , the completion of the AlumniStudent Center Building, authorization for constructing a $400,000 Law School building on the main campus, and the organization of a Sd1ool of Christian Education.

As for the graduates, morale was uniformly high, particularly for those who were going immediately into industry at salaries whid1 placement officers said were an alltime high. Of course, military service beckoned to many of the graduates, particularly those in the School of Business Administration, but the men were taking their induction in good grace-gratefu l that they were permitted to remain in school until they had earned their degrees.

Not only for men but for the women graduates, jobs were plentiful and salaries excellent. The largest single group-twentytwo--of the eighty-three Westhampton women planned to enter the teaching profession, eleven will continue their training in graduate smool. Seven will become laboratory technicians, four in industry and three in hospitals. Social service will claim five; business, two; journalism, two, and personnel work, one. Four hadn't decided which of several jobs to take, and ten said they'd have a nice long summer vacation before looking for a job.

Activity was brisk on the matrimonial front. Three were already married and twenty others were engaged to be married in the near future.

Slightly more than half of Richmond College's seventy-eight men planned to continue their education in graduate and professional schools, while about one-eighth expected to go immediately into military service. For the others the job prospects were excellent.

For draft-exempt Business School graduates the prospeots were "unexcelled," with the demand for trained men particularly heavy in accounting, sales, and management training. However, almost half of the forty-

two graduates were expected to go almost immediately into the armed services.

Practically all of the Law School graduates had already done their military stint, and planned to go immed iately into the practice of their profession.

The total of 258 graduates, including ten in the Graduate School, was the lowest since 1948 when 246 received diplomas. (Last year, 303 received degrees, as compared with 342 the preceding year.) The decline can be expected to continue next year but deans were confident that enrollments will increase sharply in the next few years when the colleges feel the impact of the sharply accelerated birth rate of the late '30' s and early '40' s.

(Educators expect college enro llments to be from 50 to 100 per cent higher by 1962.)

To the low birth rate of the early ' 30's educators give most of the blame for the current nation-wide slump in college enrollments but there are other factors, including

the demands of the armed services and the fact that the wave of World War II veterans attending college under the GI bill is now merely a ripple. (President Modlin pointed out in his annual report that the veteran population had dropped from a high of 80 per cent in 1946-47 to a low of 15 per cent of the male enrollment last session.

The percentage will be even smaller next year.) ¡ There were several reasons to believe that the University of Richmond might be able to check the enrollment decline next fall.

The resumption of normal graduating classes in the Richmond city public schools after a year's lapse upon the establishment of the twelve-year system was the most encouraging single factor. A more intensified recruitment program , coupled with the establishment of twenty-seven new scholarships worth a total of $15,100, were among other reasons (Continued on page 16)

"YE SHALLSEEKTHETRUTH... " Graduates who must turn aside from the offer of lucrative jobs to do their stint in the armed services found inspiration in the words of the commencement speaker, Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines, '12, president of Washington and Lee University. " If there should be disappointment or impatience that our exce ll ent youth of today's emergency must turn aside from eagerness for personal success," he said, "then we can only remind them of the distinction of their privilege . In new and almost terrible reality they have become custodians of all that is precious in the human effort. Under grim necessity they learn the formula of the only human hope. Using this formula, they can make their day the most influential of the human history."

Dr. Gaines spoke in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church where, for the second consecutive year the exercises were held due to inclement weather which made unsuitable the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater.

Dr. Gaines told the graduates that the "nob lest concept of education offered by all the cenruries is in the words of the Great Teacher, 'Ye shall know the truth and the

[3}

truth will make you free.' " He add ed, how ever, that this "immortal utterance " rests upon the "seldom-quoted hypothesis that great commandments must be kept and great disciplineship achieved before one can hope to know the truth ."

The occasion marked the 40th anniversary of Dr. Gaines' graduation. Alma Mater had called him back again, however, to confer on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.

Four other distinguished sons of Alma Mater were given honorary degrees at the 1952 finals, in addition to Governor John Stewart Battle. Governor Battle and President Morgan L. Combs, '17, of Mary Washington College received the degree of Doctor of Laws. L. Howard Jenkins , '08, prominent Rimmond businessman and a member of the U. of R. board of trustees, received the degree of Doctor of Science. The Doctor of Divinity degree was conferred on Clifton C. Thomas, '1 7, general secretary of the State Mission Board of the Maryland Baptist Union Association, and the Rev. E. Norfleet Gardner, ' 14, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Henderson , N . C. In his baccalaureate sermon the preceding evening, Dr. Gardner said that mankind must turn to God to find a way out of the presentday unrest. "Not in communism, and not in capitalism," he said, "is the answer to be found, but in the hearts and lives of the citizens" who make up the nations of the world .

We Are in the International Business

By ELMA H. ASHTON, '25*

FEW WEEKS AGO an Egyptian , an A Israelite, a German and a Frenchman were in our office at the same time . They remained with us a few days, after which we sent them together to a nearby city to observe its social welfare facilities for a twoweeks' period. Newspapers and other articles on the relationships of the countries these people represent might lead us to the theoretical conclusion that these four people could not-would not participate in a cooperative venture. TI1eoretically, it would not work!

However, the Egyptian, the Israelite, the German, and the Frenchman accidentally arrived in the same office on the same day.

Together, by plan, under our sponsorship and under the sponsorship of a designated agency, they went to a nearby city. Together they visited welfare agencies, institutions, schools and churches. Together they visited American homes. Together they returned to our office two weeks later , having had a full and profitable experience.

We are in the International business . People come to our office from all over the world-people who are experts in the fields of maternal and child health, child guidance and child welfare - people who are interested in learning something in this country that they may be able to use in their own countries.

International tensions have always existed, and possibly always will, to a greater or less degr ee. However, the United States is taking considerab le responsibility in the matter of exchange of ideas , information, technical knowledge, etc., with a view toward assisting in the world-wide movement toward raising standards of living, and to the worldwide mov ement toward achievement of a more peaceful existence for all. In bringing people to this country, the United States not only creates opportunity for mutual understanding between Americans and persons from other countries, but also makes it possible for people from many countries to get acquainted with one another, and establish friendly relations with one another-as in the case of the Egyptian, the Israelite, the German , and the Frenchman .

People from foreign countries come to our office through a number of programs, including the United Nations' Fellowship Program ( described in the ALUMNI BULLETIN in the winter of 1949-1950) ; the Cultural Exchange Program, which allows opportunity for our former enemies to visit and be*Miss Ashton is Chief , Training Branch, Division of Int ernational Cooperation , Children's Bureau, Washington, D. C.

come acquainted with us; and the Point Four Program, a program in which the United States makes available to less developed countries a variety of opportunities for exchange of knowledge and materials.

All of the exchange programs financed by the United States, as well as by the United Nations, have the basic purpose of creating opportunities for countries throughout the world to raise their own standards of living ; and of creating a "climate" in which more peaceful relationships can develop among men. I shaJI deal in some detail with the Point lV Program.

In his Inaugural Address in January, 1948, the President of the United States declared our country's necessity to embark upon a program of international activity. As his fourth point in this statement he announced, "We must embar k on a bold new program for making the benefits of our scientific advances and industrial progress available for the improvement and growth of underdeveloped areas . . we should make available to peace-loving peoples the benefits of our store of technical knowledge in order to help them realize their aspirations for a better life. . . . " This fourth point, now known the world over as the Point IV Program, got under way in the year 1951, and now is a major factor in constructive developments in many of the less developed countries of the world.

Through this program, the United States, upon request of another country, shares in projects designed to raise the standards of living of the people of those countries.

Our Government, through the Department of State, and through our Embassies in other countries, makes agreements with those countries, each government contributing to the project in accordance with its resources.

These projects include our sending experts to other countries to assist in developing those countries in sud1 areas as agriculture, sanitation, communication, industry, health and welfare; and include our receiving for study and training in this country, experts in the various specialties. Through this program the people of many countries are busy improving their own conditions; by increasing the productivity of their land , thus providing more and better food; by building their first out-of-door toilets, thus improving sanitary conditions; by digging their first wells, thus allowing families their first opportunity to drink clean water; by organ izing a group of children to form the community's first school; by setting up the first health and welfare centers.

[6]

Experts the United States sends to those countries help the governments get the projects under way-the people of those countries carry responsibility for accomplishing results. Professional persons and technicians from those countries come to the United States to study our methods in the various fields and return home to carry leadership in the home country's activities, making use of whatever th ey have learn ed that may be applicable and adaptable to that country.

The over-all administration of this program is carried in the United States Department of State. However, all over Washing ton, in many departments and bureaus, there are International units that carry technical responsibility for the program. For example, the Department of Labor, the D epartment of Agriculture, the Bureau of Public Assistance, the Children 's Bureau, and many other departments and bureaus have designated staff to serve as the administrative routes through which the department of State recruits experts to go abroad as consultants; and plans and arranges observation and study for professional persons and technicians from other lands who come to the United States to explore our methods in the various fields.

Our office, the Division of Int ernational Cooperation of the Children's Bureau, carries only a small part of this tremendous job .

In the fields of child health, child guidance, and child welfare, we recruit experts to go abroad, and we ¡ plan study and observation for visitors who come to this country to gain new knowledge for use in their work at home.

What can an Egyptian learn in this country that she can make use of at home-for example, the Egyptian ( a Point IV grantee) who arrived in our office with the Israelit e (a United Nations FeJlow), th e German (a Cultural Exchange FeJlow), the Frenchman (a United Nations FeJlow) ? This Egyptian is a lady who carries broad responsibility for underprivileged, neglected and delinquent children and youth. She is here to study our methods of caring for such children and youth through our agencies and institutions.

She is a person who has an important job in her country and who has enough prestige among her people to be able to influence policy and practice in the area of her responsibility. She will study "our ways" and try to adapt whatever may be usable in Egypt.

What does the United States have that a person from Turkey, or Iran, or Iraq, can use at home? We now have a man from Turkey in this country who is a lawyer and who is interested in the whole field of juve(Continued on page 16)

Alumni Fund Nears Record Tot al Almost $28,000 Given; ' 15 W ins Agai n

spanning the years from Austin of '87 to the youngsters of '51, running through every letter of the alphabet from Abbitt of '31 to Zizak of •49 let their dollars tell of their devotion to Alma Mater in the Alumni Fund of 1952.

As a result, the Fund had an unprecedented July 1 total of $27,885.40 as compared with $25, 103.67 at the close of the increase of almost $2,800.

1951 Fund-an Although the total was $723.94 below the record-breaking sum of $28,609.34 contributed in 1950 when big givers were urged to go all out for the Alumni-Stud ent Center Building, it was far ahead of the $26, 155.67 total of July 1, 1950.

Th ere is every reason to believe that before th e close of the calendar year the Fund will be the largest since the annual giving plan was inaugurated in 1947. That year 793 alumni participated; in the current fund the total had reached 1,258 on July 1 and was heading steadily to the 1300-mark.

The 1952 total is particularly significant in view of the fact that none of the money contributed in the Law School Building campaign was credited to the Fund .

A brick-and-mortar evidence of the success of the Alumni Fund is th e AlumniStudent Center which is having a noticeably

good effect on student morale. Students appreciate the luxurious furnishings of the building and are cooperating to the hilt in giving the building the care it deserves. Particularly popular during the hot summer months is the air-conditioned College Shop which is a far cry from the frame shop of yesteryear. The lounge and the adjoining playroom also are widely used.

Staffs of student pub lications, long used to miserab le quarters in the old Playhouse, are jubilant about the comfortable, welloutfitted offices on the fourth floor of the building. In addition to these offices, there is a jointly used mailing room and a morgue for the filing of cuts, pictures and oth er materials .

WINNER

CHAMPION

!

It may take a revolution to dethrone the class of 1915 which for the fourth consecutive year cleaned up all opposition in the spirited fight for first place in the Alumni Fund.

The men of ' 15 finished with a percentage of 60.53-s lightly above last year's 58.97, but not up to their record 77. 77 of the preceding year. A perennial contender for the title, the class of 1911 moved into second Woodward,

place with a 51.16 total- the best second place score in the six-year history of the Fund!

The class of 1916, fifth last year, slipped into third place with a fine 47 .37, and should be in a position to make a bid for th e championship next year.

The soul of consistency, the class of 1907 finished fourth for the third consecutive year.

Their score was 40.00.

Others in the top ten: 1917 (38.60) ; 1924 (37 .84); 1910 (37.5,0); 1905 (36.67); 1903 (36.00); 1914 (35.48) .

For the third consecutive year the class of 1949 finished first in the number of conexactly the same total as for tributors-79, the preceding year. Perhaps th e best showing was made, however , by the class of 1930 which closed with a burst of contributions to move into second place . With forty-six contributors the class had a very creditable percentage of 33.58.

The men of 1950 were third with 44, closely followed by 1948 with 43, the Old Guard, 42, th e class of 194 1 with 41, and the class of 1951 with 40. Others in the top bracket were the class of 1927 with 39, 193 7 with 38, and the class of 1942 with 37.

Baseba11 Team Wins League Title

By SPENCER D. ALBRIGHT, III

PnT' s SPIDER NINE, wh ich battled its way to the top po sition in the northM ern division of the South ern Conf erence and AC

posted a 13-4 season record , was th e prid e and joy of Richmond 's 1951-195 2 athleti c teams. Spider success came with th e maximum number of runs scored on few base hit s and an almost airtight defensive web thrown up by a phenomenal infield.

Besid es reaching the top rung in the northern division of the Confer ence, th e Spider s finished a close second to th e Wa shington and Lee Ge nerals in Big Six competition .

The Gen erals post ed a 5-1 mark for a percentage of .833, whil e th e Spiders posted a 6-2 record for a .750 p ercentage. Mother Nature figured promin ently in determining

HO O KER N EW CAGE COACH Th e man who won Virginia 's Big Six champio nship his first year as a college coach will succeed Malcolm U. (Mac) Pitt as basketball coach at the University of Richmond.

Th e newcomer is Lester Hook er, Jr. , son of Judge Hook er of the State Corporation Commission. Although he is a graduate of William and Mary , where he played baseball and basketba ll and served successfully as a coach last year, Hooker is relat ed, through his mother, to the great Sanford fam ily of University of Richmond renown . H e was a nep hew of the late Dr. T. Ryland Sanford, fat her of the six Sanfords of modern athl etic fame.

Last winter in his first try at college coaching, Hooker tutored a Wi lliam and Mary team which won nine and lost only onethat to University of Richmond- in ten games with Bix Six oppo nents. Before joining the staff of his Alma Mater he had coached at Smithfield high school , Geo rge Was hing ton high sch ool in D anville, and H opewe ll high school.

Said Carper: "The results left the observers with two conclusions: 1) the offense is better than terrific, or- 2) the defense needs HELP in capital letters . Probably the correct picture comes in focus midway."

With freshmen again eligible to play on Southern Conference teams, Merrick may bolster his eleven with some skillful recruiting during the smnmer , particularly in his native Pennsylvania from which have come some of the brightest stars in the Spider galaxy .

Most observers believe that the Spiders will be moderately successful in '52 as they build for the future. All are agreed that they will play interesting , colorful football from Merrick 's conventional "T " formation which will be varied with an occasional play from the split-T.

WEENIE MILLER RETIRESAS COACH

Louis F. (Weeni e) Miller, '4 7, one of the great names in University of Richmond baseball and basketball, has turned his back on coad1ing as a profession and will enter business in Richmond in September.

In leaving, he declined the position of basketball coach as Mac Pitt's successor.

Miller, who for some time had been contemplating the change, said he believed there was "more future " in the business world than in the coaching profession.

"Weenie" joined the U. of R. coaching staff after coaching at Glen Allen high school.

Before embarking on his business career, M,iller is spending the summer as manager of the Chase City baseball team in the Southern L"eague.

Alumni Society Elects Henry M. Taylor, '12 E. CLAIBORNE ROBINS, '31, HEADS COUNCIL

ALUMNI ACTIVITIES for the year 1952-195 3

£1.. will be headed by Henry M. Taylor, '12, who was elected president of the General Society of Alumni, and E. Claiborne Robins, '31, president of the Alumni Council.

Mr. Taylor, who is Federal-State statistician in the Virginia department of agriculture, won election as president in a close three-cornered competition with two other Richmonders, Frank G. Louthan, '10, executive secretary of the Virginia Manufacturers Association, and L. Dudley George, II, '23, secretarytreasurer of the Richmond Guano Company .

Mr. Robins, who had served the previous year as vice president, was elevated to the presidency at the annual meeting of the Council. He succeeds Edward J. Fox, ' 17, of Washington, under whose leadership the Alumni Fund reached a new high.

Other officers, elected to serve with Mr. Taylor in the General Society of Alumni, are: Edward R. Adams, '4 0, Wilbur K. Gaines, '29, and the Rev. J. Maurice Trimmer, '27, vice presidents; Aylett W. Goode , Jr ., 42, secretary, and David Nelson Sutton, '15, and William Earle White, '17, members of the executive committee. Alfred J. Dickinson, Jr., '3 7, was chosen as an alumni representative on the Athletic Council.

The Council elected the following officers, in addition to President Robins : Frank G. Louthan, '10, first vice-president; R. E. Booker, '24 , second vice-president; J. E. Nettles, '30, secretary, and R. M. Stone, '30, treasurer. Mr. Fox, S. Frank Straus, '35; F. Ralph Swanson, '26, and William T. Bareford, '46, were elected to the executive committee.

John W. Edmonds, Jr., was elected to represent the class of 1913 on the Council for a five-year term expiring in June, 195 7.

Lynn Calgar Dickerson, II, was chosen to represent the Richmond College class of '52; William Jerry Roberts, the Law School class of '52, and Roy Spencer Cayton, the Business School class of 1952.

The following members of the Council, praised by the nominating committee for faithful service, were re-elected as representatives of their classes: R. 0. Norris , Jr., '99; Overton D. Dennis, ' 10 ; George W. J. Blume, '14; J. Vaughan Gary , ' 12; John J. Wicker, Jr., ' 13; R. T. Marsh, Jr., '22; J. Maurice Trimmer, '27; John Harris Welsh, '30; Alfred J. Dickinson, Jr., '37; Malcolm U. Pitt, Jr. , '42, and Solon B. Cousins, III, '47.

Mr. Huntley, of the class of 1928, is a member of the law firm of Buford, Christian, Huntley and Scott. For a short time before he became a member of the General Assembly, he was substitute Police Justice in the City of Rid1mond . In the years since he left Law School to enter the general practice of law, he has maintained an active interest in the progress of the school. He was among the alumni instrumental in organizing the Law School Association and has subsequently served on many committees of th e Association, having been particularly diligent in his work with the committee to raise funds for the new Law School building.

During World War II he served as Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, and since his return from the service, as well as before, he has remained interested in civic affairs.

As in the past, the annual meeting was well attended by alumni from out of the state and from various sections of Virginia , in addition to the considera ble gathering of lawyers from the Richmond area. A social hour before dinner furnished the alumni an opportunity to renew old friendships and become acquainted with other members of the profession.

The outgoing president, W. R. Broaddus, Jr. , '20, in welcoming alumni and guests, stressed that members of the bar have the responsibility of protecting individual liberty, a principle laid down by our founding fathers , and the profession in Virginia, the cradle of liberty, in particular has that heritage.

A progress report on the University was given by President Modlin. He pointed out that although the bottom of the postwar depression in enro llment had been reached, the establishm ent of ROTC units at the Uni-

versity had meant much in attracting new students and building morale of students now on the campus.

William T. Muse, '28, Dean of the Law School, expressed appreciation to the alumni for their generous support in the building campaign and announced that erection of the long-awaited new law school building had been approved by government authorities, with construction to begin this summer. (The present steel strike will, in all probability, cause a delay in building until fall.) With the additional funds available from the Williams bequest, the Board of Trustees has permitted the original plans for the building to be enlarged, and a $400,000 structure erected, with ample facilities for an ideal enro llment not to exceed 150 students.

Beginning next fall three years of college will be required for entrance in the Law School, and in addition , a four-year lawschool program will be inaugurated , to which students with only two years of college credit will be admitted. For the first time in the history of the Law School, scholarships can be awarded law students during the 19531954 session as a result of the Williams bequest.

After a brief report on the accomplishments of the Student Bar during the year, officers for the coming year were elected.

Judge Oliver A. Pollard, ' 16, of Hustings Court, Petersburg, was elected vice-president; Thomas P. iBryan, '47, treasurer, and Virginia Ivey, executive secretary. New members of the Council elected for a three-year term, were: Judge Burnett Miller , Jr., '31, of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, Culpeper; Frank G . Louthan, '10, and Joseph J. Williams, Jr., '27, both of Richmond .

I'll SEE YOU AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER.Like all college presidents, Dr. Modlin is always happy to meet a man who hos money. He is congratulating Nathan a Sofion of Portsmouth 's Woodrow Wilson high school who hos just won the top scholarship prize of $900 in the University of Richmond-WRVA scholarship quiz program. Left to right ore Quizmoster Pinchbeck, President Modlin, Sanon, Roy Kennedy of WRYA, who produced the show, and Som Corey, program director for WRVA. SMART BOYS AND GIRLS found that pot of gold, not at the end of the rainbow but right in front of the WRVA microphone.

They were the winning contestants in the University of Richmond-WRVA radio quiz in which more than 500 of the best students in eastern Virginia high schools participated.

In addition to the winners, who will be enrolled in Richmond and Westhampton Colleges in September, the novel quiz turned the attention of many other students to the University of Richmond and won favor with publ ic school officials and with WRV A's large listening audience.

The winner, after thirte en weeks of gruelling competition, was Nathan A. Safian, a straight-A student in Portsmouth 's Woodrow Wilson high school. He will receive an expense-paid freshman year at Richmond College. The Richmond Rotary Club contributed $750 of Safian's $900 scholarship.

The University put up the remainder of the $4,200 in scholarship prizes. To each of the defeated finalists- Honor Patterson of Thomas Jefferson high school in Richmond , and Leta May Tucker of Thomas Dale high school in Chester - went scholarship prizes of $600.

In addition, six quarter-finalists each received scholarships worth $350-Peggy Baldwin of Hampton high school, Kenneth Gimbert of Norfolk's Granby high, Robert Goolrick of James Monroe high in Fredericksburg, John Millar of Warwick high , Lillian Stephenson of Wakefield, and Ryland Crews of John Marshall high in Richmond.

The twenty-seven boys and girls chosen to fight it out in front of the microphone were those who turned in the best papers

INE

in the qualifying written examination. In addition to the written exam, they were interviewed by representatives of WRVA and the University to make sure that they had the necessary stage presence (they did) and that they met all of the University's entrance requirements and measured up to the school's high standards of character and deportment (they did) .

Top credit for the success of the program should go to WRVA's Ray Kennedy, chief of the production staff that made the show

enjoyable as well as educational. The unseen heroes were the members of the faculties of the English, mathematics, history, biology, chemistry, and physics departments who had to think up the battery of questions.

In the starring role was Dean Pinchbeck, the quizmaster who served up the questions and the quips.

Everybody liked it so well that WRVA and the University of Richmond have agreed to do it again next year.

The total amount raised was below that of last year-$6 ,643.00 as compared with $7,493.15 in 1951, but the great increase in number of contributors is a most heartening sign. One or two exceptionally large gifts in 1951 account for the difference in amount raised in the two years.

My Neighbor (Mrs. W. A . Harris} On the hill overlooking the lake lives a lady who is beloved by three generations of University of Richmond men and women, both for her own charm and grac iousness and, further, as the wife and now the widow of that tru ly good man who for so many years was professor of Greek and Latin.

She is Mrs. W. A. Harris, who now, as in years past, keeps beautiful the garden that she and her husband planted. Rhododendron grows in the cool recesses, lilies flaunt their heads against the hillside, and in the rock garden the phlox and verbena grow.

She gives liberally and joyfu lly of her treasure. Whatever the occasion, when flowers are needed for a social function, the first thought is of Mrs. Harris. Whenever visitors call, they leave laden with cut flowers and ofttimes with shrubs for planting in their own gardens. There are few gardens in the University neighborhood which are not today more beautiful because of her bounty.

One of her neighbors and, it fo llows, one of her admirers is Mrs. F. Byers Miller, wife of the dean of the School of Business AdWinfield J. Kohler Edward L. Kurtz William E. Long Rudo lph V.

ministration, who has written her tribute in verse.

High on a hill above the lake She has her dwelling place, A house of blest tranquillity A home of charm and grace.

She loves to walk her garden paths And breathe the air so sweet, While down the hillside nature spills Its beauty at her feet.

The house regards with shining eyes The spot on which she stands.

The stately trees are guardians With outstretched leafy hands.

She rarely leaves this lovely place, She cares to roam no more; But seeking friendship, all the world Beats pathways to her door.

THE WAY OF A MAID WITH A MAN* are, I presume, some men who are yet unmarried. To these I would direct a few remarks. I would read to them portions of a recently discovered and, as yet, -little known MS, the Wisdom · Book of Methuselah, being his advice to his great-great-grandson Mirzah. In translating, some of the details have been altered slightly to make them conform to modern idiom. I quote: Hearken 1mto my words, 0 my son; give ear 11nto my cormsel, that thy days may be joyful and thy nights abounding in peace.

I have observed the daughters of men, their going out and their coming in. I have considered them when they knew it not.

Behold, my years are nine hundred and sixty and nine, and in 'my time I have known much women.

Lay up within thy heart the words of my tong11e that thou mayest know the guile of woman and be u;,arned, yea, tha.t thou mayest know the way of a maid with a man.

And lo, this is the manner of her working.

She meeteth him at the al11mni picnic, and she hath marked him for her own. Verily, he is already lost.

She parteth him from the others; she establisheth a penonal relationship; he beareth her raincoat for her, and she putteth her compc1ctinto his pocket.

The dogs bark with much fierceness, and she claspeth his arm. She beggeth his proteclion, and he calmeth her fears with words.

Then is she comforted and saith, "Lo, how brave tho11arl .'" · She waiteth not for opportunity, but maketh occasion for nearness. He removelh a speck from her eye, and her breath is upon his face.

She saith to him, "Will lhou tell me if the seams of my stockings are straight?"

He calleth upon her, and she telleth him, "I have thottght of thee often; again and again hast thott been in my remembrance."

They journey forth to the show, and she permitteth him not to take her to the Byrd, saying, "Thott must save thy money; let us go instead to the Carillon, yea, let us see 'The Pride of Saint Louis,' for I know thou dost love the Cardinals."

They return to her abode, and she conducteth him to the kitchen. She putteth an apron upon him. They prepare fudge together. She sitteth ttpon the Latmdromat'and swingeth her nylons.

She calleth him by telephone; she manifesteth great interest in his work , saying, "How didst thou at the office today, and that order from Lynchburg, hast thott secttred it?"

She asketh his advice concerning the candidates. She inquireth his opinion about Taft, and she saith, "Lo, how clearly hast thou made me to ttnderstand the issues."

N THIS GATHER ING

*An excerpt from an address delivered by Dr. Samuel W. Stevenson at the joint Alumnae-Alumni dinner in Keller Hall on June 7. His speech was entitled: "Husbands Arise, You Have Nothing to Lose but Your Chains,"

She visiteth him at his boarding hottse when he is ill. She prepareth custards to bring him. She feeleth his brow and expresseth great concern.

She saith to him, "Thou must be sttre to wear thy rubbers, and thy warm underwear must tho11not neglect. For if aught happened 11ntothee, then indeed would I be desolate."

She maketh him comfortable in her living room. She putteth the L11ckies at his elbow and saith, "Recline and take thine ease. Put thy feet upon the sofa, and do not mind the ashes, for they keep the moths away."

She createth a quarrel out of thin air. She speaketh to him sharply, and when he is heated, she abaseth herself. She boweth low before him. The tear trembleth in her eye, and her lip doth quiver. Yet doth she not u)eep, for she knoweth that red eyes are not comely .

And again she provoket/J a strnggle, and he snatcheth at her fiercely. She rebuketh him, saying, "How darest tho11? What reason have I ever given thee to think thttsand-so ?" She accepteth his apology.

She maketh him lo feel confident of her; yea, he monopolizeth her, and then, lo, she springeth another man on him. He calleth, and she is not in. She keepeth company with beardless youths.

And now is his time come, although he knoweth it not. She prepare th her snare; she maketh ready her axe. She asketh him to come to her quickly. She saith, "Lo, I am troubled, and thou must advise me. My uncle in Seattle hath invited me to visit him for six months, and verily I do not know what I should do. He coachet/J a football team, and he wisheth me to pose with the co-captains."

And he falleth into the trap. He proposeth to her, and she accepteth him, and behold, the fowl of his barnyard is roasted; yea, verily, his goose is cooked.

nile delinquency. His country has no juvenile courts; but his country is now in the process of writing a new law relating to juveniles . This gent leman was sent to the United States to stud y our methods in this field, and when he returns home he will present to hi s government a plan for th e treatment of boys and girls who , because of bad home conditions and inadequate community facilities, hav e become young "offenders."

Many countries are not yet ready for the more specific welfare services. Many countries are getting help in producing more and better food for undernourished populations, in building simple houses for families that have been living in dugouts , in improving · sanitary conditions , in constructing the beginnings of a communication system.

It is the hope of those who are operating the Point IV Program , and other international exchange programs, that as a less developed country moves up the ladder in improving condition s, it can gain assistance in moving another step; and as the people begin to raise their standards of living and to feel more sense of self-respect they will be more inclined toward establishing peaceful relationships with other countries.

As we Americans participate in these programs, sharing with other countries, we grow in understanding and knowledge, and strengthen our position as a constructive force in the world of which we are a part.

Everything in which we share international ly is an investment for our own protection and, we hope, a contribution to a movement toward world peace.

BOUQUET FOR DICKINSON C. W . Dickinson, Jr., '05, who is making satisfactory recovery from a heart attack suffered last December, has been cheered by an attractive testimonial published by his friends in appreciation of his leadership of the school library program in Virginia. Since Mr. became Dickinson Supervisor of Textbooks and Libraries for the State Department of Education in 1923, tremendous strides have been made in the program.

The tribute, prepared by the school Librarians Section of the Virginia Education Association, attributes many notable advances to his leadership, including the minimum library standards, adopted by the State Board in 1928, requiring each accredited high school to have a teacher-librarian. Last year a total of 385 certificated librarian s were employed in Virginia public schools.

GROUND BROKEN FOR LODGES Ground has been broken for the first three of the lodges which will be located on Fraternity Row on the west side of College Road.

The builders are Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Phi Epsilon .

The lodges, which are of one-story brick construction, will cost approximately $20,000 each. The plans call for a large living room which can be used for social functions and for meetings of the chapter, a small kitchen , and a bedroom for the two chapter members who will live on the premises and serve as caretakers. There will be a full bath. room and, in addition, a lavatory and a powder room.

Under the University's lodge plan, each of the twelve brotherhoods which now occupy houses or space in the dormitories must be in lodges by 19S7. After five of the fraternities have built lodges, the three fraternities which now occupy houses - Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Theta Chiwill be given a period of three years in which to move into lodges.

1921

Secretary MRS. E. L. DUPUY (Catherine Little) Spencer, Virginia I almost didn't write this bit of news, but somehow I just can't Jet our space be vacant in those columns! Especially, I am glad to report that 16 of our number have as of now contributed to the Alumnae Fund . We haven 't done many square inches of the Swimming Pool with our amounts yet, but every little bit helps!

Our sincere sympathy goes to Maie Collins Robinson. Maie Jost her mother in March and we were late hearing about it.

Elizabeth Elsea, who teaches Chemistry in Arlington, keeps her family house going at certain times during the year for her family gatherings.

She makes visits to Richmond ever so often. ·· Mildred Rucker Oaks wrote that her son Howard would graduate in June from Wes leyan University and expects to enter Harvard next autumn to study dentistry . Mildred lost her husband in 1935 and has since been teaching part of the time in Temple University, but most of the time in Camden (N . J.) High School. She wishes she knew what we look like! Shall we send her snapshots of ourselves?

She says they have had to cut down their activities because of h is health.

Your Secretary was again elected Recording Secretary of the Virginia Baptist W . M. U . at its annual session in Danville. I am happy to be of some service with so fine a group of women.

1923

Secret ary MRS. EvAN LACY (Camilla Wimbish) 1324 Wilkerson Street, South Boston, Va. Vacation time again! I hope yours is proving just the kind you need . Of course all of us can't sail for Europe as did Thurma Va lentine Baxter.

She returned June 16 on the Queen Elizabeth. I wish we could gather around and hear her give an account of her trip.

Recently I had a most interesting letter from Melba Harvey Booth . She is living in D anville.

I want you to enjoy parts of her Jetter with me.

She writes , "We have a wonderful family, a mighty nice Dad and three grown children. We are so proud of them . . . . Bill, our oldest, a graduate of the University of Virginia, is an architect, located in Charlottesville, with the firm of Stainback & Scribner. He is happy in his work ....

Me lba is a graduate of Longwood College and has been teaching in Fairfax for the past three years. Next fall she wi ll enter Southwestern at Fort Worth, Texas, to get her degree in Religious Education. We are so happy that she has made this decision .. . . John, our youngest, is president of the freshman class at U. of R ." I know that you are as pleased as I am to have this news of Melba and her family . She wants to hear from Ruth Campbell and Marjorie Downs. Please write me about them so I can pass it on to Melba and other interested members of our class.

Margaret Ostergren sends word that she· plans to join us next June for our reunion. I am already looking forward to it. Our grey hairs and grandchildren will be wonderful topics of conversation.

I have both. The first I don 't mind and am doing nothing about; the second I adore and wou ldn't be without. (Mercy, I didn't mean to make a rhyme!)

Ethney Selden Headlee writes that she went over on Eastern Shore during Garden Week and saw Rennie Parks Rue and her attractive fourteen year old daughter.

Donzella George Harper's mother-in- law died very recently. We send our Jove and sympathy to her.

Lelia Doan 's mother fell early in April and broke her hip. She has been in the hospital ever since and has been very uncomfortable. Lelia and her sister, Wilmot , spend a good bit of their time going back and forth to see about her . Our Jove to both of them.

The Alumnae Board held the annual tea for the Senior Class at Ruth Powell Tyree's lovely new home in Windsor Farms on May 14. Jo Tucker and Hannah Coker were there.

A recent letter from Aggie Taylor Grey brought a very generous check for the swimming pool fund.

I have had no definite figures from Leslie so I can't give you a report of our contributions. I am sure they will compare favorably with the best.

Evan and I went to the State Banker 's Convention in Roanoke in May .

Happy vacation to each of you! Drop me a card so I can keep up with you and your interesting doings.

1924

Secrettir)' MRS. J. A. BROADDUS(Norma Coleman) 4211 Augusta Avenue, Richmond, Virginia I am so happy to have some news of Elizabeth Carver Cosby to pass on to you. She and her

[ 72]

husband, Stewart Carver, have lived these past 25 years all over the U. S. A., from Seattle, Washington, to Mia mi, Flori da, and have traveled over most of this hemisphere. D uring the war years Elizabeth lived up and down the West Coast whi le her husband was in the service, a captain in the Coast Artillery Corps. At present she frequent ly tags along with said husband who is now sales engineer for seven states with a bakery equipment company. In addition, Elizabeth is busy with their 36 acre home, "Litt le Gardens," near Lawrenceville, Georgia. H ere they raise vegetables, fru its, pecans , but mostly shrubs and flowers.

They specialize in camellias, roses, and gardenias, and have a row of blue ribbons to show for their horticu lture. Elizabeth is a past president of the Johnson Estates Garden Club, and is avidly interested in flower arrangements et cetera! I certain ly hope to see her when I visit in Atlanta this summer.

Another letter bri ngs us news from Bernie W hitlock Bow les. H er son, Page , who was in Germany for four years, is now home . The younger boy, Fred, who was at the University of Richmond last year, is now a plebe at Annapolis where Commander Bowles teaches. Bernie herself keeps busy with home and community interests. She is at present secretary of the Y.W.C.A. board of directors. Recently she went all out as a Red Cross Vo lunteer Worker for the Bloodmobile and was persona lly responsible for many donations. The Annapolis Evening Capital gave her special commendation for this work. In addition to active work in the College Woman's Club she is now helpi ng to organize a bra nch chapter of A.A.U.W., an organization of which she was Virginia State President 1936-1938. Ceram ics is a new hobby - just in case she has time on her hands.

Wi lhelmina Wright, Inez Hite, Virginia Clore Johnson, Margaret Fugate Carlton, and I enjoyed being together at the annual Alumnae Fund dinner and meeting. Virginia 's daughter has been a student at Mary Washington in Fredericksburg this year. Her son graduates from Thomas Jefferson High School in June . Inez 's older daughter, Mary Jane, is a sophomore at T. J . Margaret Carlton got a running start on most of us. Her second grandchi ld was born this spring.

Your '24 committee enjoyed writing to you recently, personally and in beha lf of the Alumnae Fund. If perchance you have not yet sent Leslie a check for this school session, send it now or during the summer months to her office at Westhampton.

Come June , school is out for me also, and I promise at least a post card of news to each of you.

1929

.

Secretary MRS. W. S. SIMPSON (Violet Cervarich) 4413 Wythe Avenue, Richmond , Va. I had a very interesting Jetter from Elizabeth Chandler Cox, who has two sons and a daughter in school and who spent the past year as school job which she found very enjoyable librarian-a but which kept her pretty busy .

I also had a card from Elizabeth Ha le who was in Miami. She was sorry not to be able to be at Westhampton for Commencement , but for those of you who came back I am sure the program was of unu sual interest. Virginia Perkins Yeaman was Alumnae Day Chairman and I know the Committee worked hard to make the occasion a memorable one.

Virginia's daughter, Ann Carol, who graduated in June from Thomas Jefferson H . S. will enter Westhampton in the fall and Jive in the dormitory .

At Thomas Jefferson she was elected to the National Honor Society and was also one of 45 finalists in the Ta lent Search Contest of the Virginia Academy of Science.

Mary Richardson Butterworth's daughter who is in the 8th grade at Collegiate School for Girls had the leading ma le role in a play which was

written and produced by the children in the class.

They all had a wonderful time and the play was really good, too!

Louise Hardaway Boswell was in town recently looking as young and chipper as usual. She and Helen Moon had a fine time visiting.

Trudy Ryland Harlan (Mrs . H. H.) has recently moved and is now locat ed at 1228 Greensboro Road, Birmingham, Alab ama. Which reminds me-when you move please be sure you let me or Mrs. R. E. Booker, Alumnae Secretary, know your new address. It makes us feel mighty sad to have the BULLETINreturned with "incorrect address" or "unknown at this address" stamped on it- and it costs money, too!

The Richmond group was thrilled recently to see a reprint in the Richmond Times-Dispatch of an editorial from the Culpeper Exponent by Mary Stevens Jones on "Adlai Stevenson 's Virginia Ancestry." Haven't I told you repeatedly that '29 is hard to beat?

Guy Mattox, Jr., was one of 2 boys selected from V.P.I. to go on a tour of inspection to West Point Military Academy as a guest of the school to get firsthand information on the "whys" and "wherefores" of the Army. Military Schools throughout the U . S. were represented .

So long for the Summer-have lots of fun-let's make this a real vacation that will take us refreshed into the hustle and bustle of winter.

Secretary (Pro Tem) MRS. MATTHEW L. Wooo (Dorothy Abbott) 105 Banbury Road, Richmond, Virginia MRS. GEORGEE. WITHERS (Jean Collier) 505 S. Davis Avenue, Richmond, Virginia Our sincere sympathy goes to Alice Richardson Connell in the loss of her father in April , Mr .

Through the "Round-Robin" we learned: Elinor Bell Camper has been working with Du Pont for the past ten years.

Sallie Belote Copes is teaching in Yorktown, where she is now making her home .

Margaret Billings Sentz keeps up her interest in music by teaching and playing the organ. She has two sons, ages 11 and 5½.

Helen Bowman Lieb was elected in March to the office of Nationa l Committeewoman of the Republican Party from Florida. She will be a Delegate-at-Large to the National Convention in Chicago . Her son, Joe, Jr., age 5½, played in his first piano recital at the age of 4 and gave his first Concert last November at the auditorium in Tampa.

1935

Secretary MRS. C. M. TATUM (Gladys Smith) 2105 Rosewood Avenue Richmond 20, Virginia A.A.U.W. activities claim the int erest of a number of the members of our class. Jean Shafer will serve next year as treasurer of the group in Richmond . Nan Owen Manning and Helen Caulfield Ballard attended the State Convention in Richmond, as delegates for the Arlington and Norfolk clubs respectively. When I was in Suffolk in the spring , I saw a picture in a Norfolk newspaper of Helen, who is president of the Norfolk branch of the A.A.U.W.; her club was sponsoring an antique sale, and Helen was displaying some articles which she had donated . Mention has been made previously of the A.A.U.W. affiliations of Mary Anne Guy Franklin and Billy Rowlett Perkins, and no doubt there are others who are members too.

Congratulations to Dot Nalle Gerzeny, whose daughter, J\nne Bolling, arrived March 28 !

Helen Whitten Adams' new address after September will be 715 Riverside Drive, Richmond 25.

Her new home is on a hill overlooking the James River , and such a setting sounds like perfection.

Helen talked with Connie Vaden Rupel when Connie visited her mother at Easter. Connie taught during the spring term and traveled West during the summer; her plans for the fall are indefinite .

Mary Harrington Meaker and her family plan to live in New England, where her husband will

teach after receiving his Mast er's degree in June from the University of Vermont . We wish good things for Mary in the future , as we know she has had a strugg le (but fun too) managing a home and three children while her husband attended colleg e.

Alice Harrington Hunt will move to Orangeburg, South Carolina , as soon as the Du Pont plant at which her husband will work has been completed.

Sue Cook McClure Jones now lives at 4169 Via Solano, Palos Verdes, California. Her husband is employed at Pratt-Whitney Airplane Engine Company, and her oldest child is an airplane enthusiast. He hitches a ride at every opportunity and hopes to fl.y East during the summer to visit his grandmother. Sue Cook's other two children , Catherine and Allen , are about nine and six. We hop e Sue Cook is plannin g to be in the East for our reunion in 1955.

Tackie Tohnston Gilmore has been elected second vice-nresident of the Westham Garden Club.

Lola Williams Pierce is kept busy chauffeuring Cheryl and R. G. to danoing school, music lessons, and entertainments in which they take part.

Harriet Walton was Editor of Hockey Guide, the official rule book pub lished every two years bv NF.A. Harri et left the day after St. Catherine's closed to instruct during the month of June for Seri:,eant School of Physical Education.

OteJ.ia Francis Bodenstein still lives in Crowns ville, Maryland, although her husband has been recalled to Army duty. Fortunately, he is stationed at the Pentagon . Otelia and her husband have bought a new boat.

Beverley Bates leads a busy life. She instructs at the Medical College of Virginia, both physical and occupational theraoy, is a practicing therapist, and counsels parents of crippled children from all over Virginia in the care and exercise of their children. Bev had a card from Tess Carter Hawkins at Christmas but had no news of Tess to report .

Our class had its largest representation at a college function in recent years when Lottie Britt Callis, Mary Mills Freeman, Betsy Marston Sadler, Jean Shafer, Harriet Walton, and Sue Whittet Wilson went to the card party given in Keller Hall by the Richmond Alumnae Club to raise money for the Swimming Pool Fund. The good attendance was due to Mary Mills Freeman's efforts .

Betsy Marston Sadler helped to chaperone a church group of young people during a spring outing , and one of the other chaperones was Patsy Pitts Henderson, who was a freshman with us.

Patsy married Willard T. Henderson and lives at 1221 Windsor Avenue in Richmond. Betsy says that Patsy has two lovely daughters .

Martha Saunders Ziebe , who did her junior year's work at Westhampton as a member of our class, has three daughters , one of whom is brand new .

I had a wonderful trip in April to the Deep South. I went on a conducted tour to Natchez, Baton Rouge , New Orleans , along the Gulf Coast, and to Mobile . I can recommend without qualifica tion that part of the country in the spring. One of the ladies on the tour and I became good friends when she learned that I know Miss Keller. She is a Pi Phi and attended a convention in New Orleans (at the same hotel where we stayed) when Miss Keller was Pi Phi president many years ago .

I bought a copy of a Sunday edition of the Memphis Comme rcial Appeal and enjoyed reading in it Rhea Talley's weekly column.

Secretary ELIZABETHANGLE 521 N. Belmont Street , Richmond 21, Va. While this is being written your regular news gatherer is having a wonderful vacation in Europe .

Liz Angle and Monny Bowers left in May for Europe by plane and have planned their own itinerary. We're just green with envy and will be eagerly awaiting Liz's own account of her travels.

This is Louise 's third son and fourth child . Also congratulations to Kitty Broyles Kerr on the birth

Secretary MRS. R. M. NOLTING, JR. (Peggy Lockwood) Box 658, R .F.D. 8, Richmond, Virginia We class secretaries have been quite disappointed over the lack of personal responses to our recent letters to you concerning the Alumnae Fund. It leaves us newsmongers with very little to report.

Martha Ellis Ross brought me up to date on her family in one of those grand newsy letters that are such a pleasure to receive . She and Aubrey have been living in Culpeper over a year nowaddress 210 East Street, North-and they love it .

Their daughter, Barbara, our baby-cup winner, is nearly twelve years old now, and a daughter of whom they are justly proud. Martha and Barbara both had parts in their Little Theater Play this spring, and Barbara also went to Washington in June for the Nationa l Auditions in connection with her music! Besides being wife and mother , Martha is working at the local radio staition, WCV A, doing script and continuity writing .

won the tri-color ribbon for the most outstanding arra ngement in the first annual flower show ot the Village Garden Club in Westhampton. Congratu latio ns, Liz 1 I bad a nice chat wi th Ruth Ruffin Banks on the telephone this afternoon. She and Bob have been living in Sandston for severa l years now with their two voung sons.

Please i'et us hear from the rest of you during the next few months. Hope that Leslie Booker has beard from each of you by now wit h your contribution for the Alumnae Fund.

1940 Sectelary Mrss KrTTY LYLE 292·0 No ble Avenue, Richmond, Virgini a News is pathet ically scarce this issue for a class the size of ours, but you'd probably rather see a little bit in print than none at all .

It's a real pleasure to have beard somethin g abo ut Judith Lucas. I don't believe there has been anyt hing in the BULLETIN about her for a long, long time. I talked wit h her mother and learned that she is teaching history at Iowa State College .

She received her M .A. degree from the University of Chicago about £om years ago and also completed part of her work toward her doctorate . Mrs .

Lucas said that she was at home for a whil e last summer on vacat ion and hopes to get home again th is summer.

Di d you know that Lucy Baird is now working for a lawyer? Her new emp loyers are Hunton, William, Anderson, Gay & Moore, and she is secretary to Mr. Lewis Powell. Lucy had a trip to central Florida before taking her new job, and on her return moved to a new addr ess at 932 W .

Fra nklin Street (Telephone 6-3070).

The Class of '40 was represented at the card par ty in April by Doris Hargrove Kibler, Harriett Yeamans Mercer , Dell W illi ams Smith, Mildred Gustafson Donohue and myself. And at a meeting of the Richmond Club at Mrs. Decker's home in May there were four from our class present-Helen Smith Moss, Elsie Mattingly Dickin son, Harriett Yeamans Mercer, and myself.

Let's hope that the fall issue of the BULLETIN wi ll be bur sting with news. With the intervening summer months there should certa inly be new happenings in the lives of the class of '40.

1941 Secretary MRS. S. G. HARDY (Bitsy Epes) Blackstone , Virginia Anne Addi son Bowli ng is one of our chief informants this time. In a long newsy Jetter she has set us stra ight on the class tr iple ts, and I quote:

" Betty Melius married Fr ed Menuk e, a denti st. I believe she has everyone beat en as to offspring.

Already having a son and daughter, Betty now has three darling girl s who were two years old in March. The amazing part of all this is th at she was in the iron lung up until the the triplets were born. Betty had po lio but recovered with little or no ill effects. H er addr ess is 200 Chicago Boulevard, Sea Girt, New Jersey."

Ann e and Brag have a son, Brag, Jr. , aged 3½ .

Th ey have a house in Arlingt on and would like to see anyone passing that way. She had news of some ex-members of our class: M argaret Curley Balch is in Trinidad and has three boys. To Ann e's sorrow , Betty Page Kemp Stark has moved from Arlington to Spokane, Wa shingto n. Betty Page has three childr en and the youngest, Gary, is Ann e's godson and very specia l. Betty Page enjoyed learning to ski during the wi nter.

Patsy Garrett Kokinacis r etu rn ed to Richmond to appear at the Mosque May 3, whe n she sang for the annu al dance revue of the Elinor Fry School of D ance.

The Virginia Federatio n of Wom en's Clubs held thei r convention in Richmond in April. Lib Henry Belcher (Mrs. J . Raym ond, Jr.) was elected secretary-treasurer of the junior clubs in the State at their business session , held in conjun ction with the VFWC conventi on.

Teeny Evans Hardin's hu sband 's name is appearing in many newspapers. Whil e Gray and _I were spendi ng some time in Durh am, N. C., this spri ng Bristow's pictur e appeared in the Durh am p-aper.' He had been elected President of the Caro1ina Dramatic Association, comprising directors of community, colleg e, and school groups, at a recent business session at the Un iversity of North Carolin a. Then , in our Blackstone paper, a front page article was plugging the sixth consecutive prod uction of "The Common Gl ory," Paul Green's stirrin g sympho nic drama to run July 1 through August 31 at Williamsburg, Vir ginia . It stated, "Br istow Hardin, Jr., of Charlotte, N. C., with the show every year since its opening except the 1949 season, will agai n be cast as Lord Dunmo re."

We hope Teeny and her family will again spend the summer months with the Hardin s, Sr., at Virginia Beach so that some of us vacationing there might see her.

Louise Morri ssey was married to Wilbur Jos eph Moyer, of Lilly, Penn. , Saturday , May 3, at. 10 A.M . at St. Benedict's Catholic Church rn Richmond. Aft er a Southern wedding trip , they will make their home in Washington, D . C. Virg ini a Lee Ball Glover (Mrs . P . LeRoy) leads

a busy life. In April she helped friends in Gloucester pick and ship daffodil s for which that section of Virginia is famous. During the House and Garden tour there in May , she was host ess in one of the homes . She was glad to see H elen Martin Laughon who brought a group of fri ends from Norfolk to visit the homes. Al so in M ay she and LeRoy went to Vir ginia Beach for a wonderful Jaycee convention at which they saw Rue and String (Mr. and Mr s. Thornton Stringf ellow) , Sometime soon Virginia Lee plans to have a meet ing of the Peninsula Alumna e Group at her borne.

Virgini a Lee called Barbara Eckles Grizzard (Mrs. Stuart) in No rfolk recently. Things seem to be goi ng fine with them, especially as their church 's Good Will Cent er has been ope ned.

Betty Keesee Rhodes (Mr s. L. F.) bas a daughter, M arga ret Granville Rhodes, who was born Easter Sunday morning .

Tinsy Garrett Buckler is ho pi ng her hu sband, Lt. Col. Philip C. Buckler, w ill be hom e the last of July. Phil bas been in J apan for ten months and in Korea for tw elve months. Durin g this time, Tinsy has been here in Blackstone with her parents.

Do any of you have the addr ess for Evelyn Pomeroy Umstattd (Mrs. Lee)?

It' s always good to hear from Eleanor Kindell Miller . M y twelve year old niece who wants to go to W esthampton is especia lly hap py as she adds to her collectio n of fore ign stam ps this way. The latest corresponde nce from Eleanor came from Venezuela in Apri l, saying that she and Carter were on their way back to Arub a after taking a ten day trip on a Dut ch ship, the Willemstad.

They went from Arub a to Puerto Limon in Costa Rica, then to Cristobal , Panama, where they bad their first look at the Panam a Canal.

I want to shar e with you a nice letter from Margaret Purcell Spindler (Mr s. V. J., Jr.) , who is living at 4347 Virginia Park , D etroi t, Michigan: "Last summ er while the children and I were at Mother's I starte d with my oil paints again, not having touched them sin ce my Senior year in class und er Marcia Silvette. I did a portrait of my grandfather, William W arren Har rison Lee, which Mother has, and since then I've done several others.

Last month I presented a portrait to our minister at bi s birthda y celebration. (Sh e enclosed a clipping from the Detroit free Press which told of this.)

Since the portrait was presented ( it bangs in the church loung e), I ha ve received commissions to do thr ee mor e. I'm very happy about it, as I love painting. All this leads up to the fact that I'v e decided to send a check to the Alumnae Association every time I'm paid for a portrait." W e're proud of you, Purcy , especially since your tim e to paint must be limited because of the children.

Secretary MRS. R. M. HATHAWAY("Pepper" Gardner) 7 115 D exte r Road, Richmond 26, Va.

Well, I feel lik e chanting 'Tm back doing business at the same old stand ," but thi s time it's only on a temporary basis. Reba has resigned as class secretary and Mr s. Booker asked me to do thi s issue . By the time fall comes, however, your new secretary wi II be ready to take up for next year. My news this time is about the Richmond girls-present and ex- in other words, those I could get in touch with by phon e.

In addition to about three jobs she does on a regular basis, Reba Booker Fox has a new int erest -a twice-a-week TV show. It 's called, "H ere's How ," and, as th e name implies, is full of good id eas (with demonstrations) . App are ntly, th ere's no field barred for Reba has tips on thing s from sewing and cooking to making lamp shad es and place card s. Tommy at 7 months stands up and walb around hi s play pen, and Reba's dream of

having one child not start an active lif e so ear ly seems crushed !

Mickey Allman Cage, Nor man, and 2 year old Norman, Jr. , are enjoying their country life on a 200 acre farm near Beaver Dam , Vir gi ni a. Norman is still with th e rai lroad, but he finds time enou gh left to manag e their farm. Evelyn All en Krau se is back in Richmond after a number of years in Vesuvius, Va. Charles is the new director of the audiovisual aid department of the Pr esbyterian Board of Educati on. Eve lyn taught school for the past two year s, but now finds keeping up with 4 year old Charles Allen a full tim e job.

Carolyn Babb H eflin is still in Norfolk. She, Bill and th e two children were down for Alumna e Day and seem to get to most of the big functions at college now. I wish more of you could get back. Caro lyn and I have a r ather neat arra ngement worked out for our 4 year old sons. We exchange visits so that once or twi ce during th e year ea-ch of us is minus at least one child . It works very nicely.

J ean Bowers McCammo n and Sam still live in Richmond , where Sam is the pastor of the Fairfield Presbyterian Church. Ann e is enjoying school and 3 year old John is an id eal baby according to his mother. Fran Beazley Bell and Bob now live in Reading, Mas s. Th ey have another new house (I do beli eve Fran must hav e set a record for moving into and finishing new hous es ) , and also a fairly new son. Jonathan Ald en Bell mad e his appearance on New Year's Day. Four year old Caro lyn is a big help with th e baby . Bob is with a Boston bank .

Loui se Cardoza Long is just finishing up a bu sy year of Junior Woman 's Club work. She was the pr esident of th e Mono can club last year. Jean Crob arger Carver will be moving to Philadelphi a soon. H er husband , Sidney , is working for the Fir estone Co., and Jean hopes to tak e some classes at the U. of Pa. next fall.

I called Virginia Delp Ogg and was perfectly amazed to learn that she has four children-3 boys and a girl. The youngest, Samuel Bru ce, was born March 13th. Wad e is an engine er for Stone and W ebster and th ey live in the west end of Richmond. Evelyn Flax Mirm elste in also ha s a new son, her second, Rob ert , born Nov. 15th . And Sweetie Emerson McSweeney's answer to my query as to what she'd been doin g was wonderful"Go lly, Pepper, I stay busy just refereeing! " Sweetie's fifth will be one year old in June-3 boys and 2 girls.

I had a nice chat with Shirley Huxt er Corson , and I was delighted that I happened to call the week she an d 3 year old Miri am were in town.

Shir ley and Blake have a new house in Hilton Villa ge. Barbara Fuller Cox and Al are also back in Hilton after some months in Annapolis.

Another perso n I caught in town on a visit was Jun e Ha rgrove Rub le. I didn't see 3 year old Judy, but they tell me she looks like a doll wit h her blond hair and big blu e eyes. Jun e says that Mary Kayhoe Ford has tak en her 3 childr en and gone to join her hu sband in Germany.

Barbara Krug Evans is in the throes of moving aga in and , believe me, with two boys that isn't

Bee Lewis Talb ott and Da ve have a new house in Annap oli s th at th ey built. I assume they are in by now. I had a letter from Bee in Jan . and tho ' they were to have been in by Christmas, they were hoping th en to settle for Easter. D avey is 4 and a man of skat es, scooter, and station wagon.

Shorty Nuckols Claytor has recently gotten a very nice prom ot ion with th e telepho ne company , She is a service supervisor , and also does civilian defen se volunteer work.

Aft er being in Richmond for several years Harriet Lewis Goodman and H aro ld are moving to Washington.

Max Williams Rogers and Bob are also going into a new home in South Richmond . Carol Loui se celebrated her first birthday, May 15, by learning to walk.

Th e Hathaway s are "go ing outd oors" in a big way these days . At least, it seems a good part of our tim e is spent with th e yard and flower garden.

I'm not sure yet whether it's because we are nature lovers, or becau se we've discovered th at's a good way to keep Bobby and Ricky, Skippy {our dog) and Tar-Baby (ou r cat) out. At least, we're all sporting nice tans. You'll be hear ing from me during th e fall and winter in relation to the questio nn aire for our scrapboo k, and it isn't too early to start thinking and planning for that big reunion in 1953. See you next June!

Secretary MRS. W. A . STANSBURY(Ann Burcher) 5814 Guthrie Av enu e, Richmond, Virginia M emo ries of our very wet first Saturday in M ay came to me when I went out to the camp us for one of the very few sunny M ay Da ys in years, My childr en discovered Milli e Cox Goode and Courtney ( age 5) by the balloon booth and we all watched the coronation together. Those of you w ho att end ed th e Richmond Alumnae Card party saw Courtney mociel a bathing suit in a fashi on show in spir ed by the Swimming Pool Fund. Milli e and M ary Alderson Graham have joi ned a group of golfers who play regularly.

They were even in a tournament recently.

Billy J ane Baker had a grand letter from Butsy Muller Goldsmith w ho is also going in for exercise-"Si nce September I've been going to a modern dancing exerc ise class. Me , who took

trip le gym my senior year to graduate, going voluntarily to what amounts to a strenuous gym class every week! I can actually do 10 push-ups and I know the fundamentals of the can-can ." Butsy has also joined an amateur dramatic group and directed a one act play in March. She sandwiches these activities in with volunteer work for three different organizations .

Spring brought warm, sunny days and to some peop le-hay fever. Billy Jane had a phone call from Doris Hedgepeth Neal in May. Doris and her husband were both in Richmond for allergy tests .

In June, Pierce and Heppy Patterson Ellis moved their family to Nashville where Pierce has a new job with the Abingdon-Cokesburg Press. He will tak e part in an executive training program which is something new in the pub lishing business.

My family is all agog because Warren is a civilian again. The Navy kept him for 17 months -too long to suit me.

Because she graduated with the summer school class of '43, Marg ery Pep le has not been on our class roster and was not on the address list. I think she should be considered a member of our class and so does Margery so you wi ll want to add her name and address (108 Tonbridge Rd.Richmond) to your list. After graduating from Westhampton, Margery studied Occupational Therapy at R.P.I. Upon completion of her course she began working at Pine Camp Tuberculosis Hospital where she has now been promoted to Chief of Her duties include vocational Rehabilitation. guidance and educational placement , since their facilitie s offer scholastic as well as vocational training.

Anoth er addition to our class list is Ruth Jones Wilkins who attended classes at Westhampton our senior year. She is current ly teaching Eng lish at R.P.I. and MCV. We appreciate her contribution to the Alumnae Association of maps with Ellen G lasgow scenes which were part of the work on her Masters Degree at Westhampton last year.

The proceeds from the sale of these maps will go to the Reading Room .

We have some very vital statistics-the first of which is the birth of Fleet Watson Kirk (named for both his grandfathers) on March 15. This is the second for Bill and Dee Dee Howe Kirk whose little "Kathy " was two years old in June.

N ell Collin s Thompson and Bob are the proud par ents of a baby girl , Nancy Robin, born on March 25.

Secretary

MARYELLEN TUCKER 3229 Fendall Avenue Richmond 22, Virginia I know that all of you are anxious to know how our luncheon on Saturday , May 17, at the Hermitage Country Club turned out. I really don't know where to start because we had such a wonderful time. My only regret is that each of you could not be there and that I was not five persons so that I could be between every three or four people and bear all conversations . We had a beautiful day and just as Nancy Grey Stables and I drove up , there was Mary Campbell Paulson, who had just arrived from Hilton Village. Then we met Betty Lawson Dillard and her husband on the lawn and Les departed, knowing what a gab session we wou ld have. Shortly after Kathy Mumma, Betty Clement Adair and Jen Lea Yancey had arrived, the head waiter came over to me to check on the time and told me that he thought the other ladies were on their way into the Club. I asked him if they were young ladies and his reply was, "Yes ." Even though we have been out of school for seven years and might feel mighty old at times, we must not look old to others.

We were most honored to have Miss Lutz with us and it was indeed a real treat. Those who w~re able to make the luncheon were, Christy Lou Miller Russell, Anne Woodward Hood, Anne Glazebrook Tompkins, Hollie Garber Kenyon (all of whom started with us in 1941) , Mary Campbell Paulson , Nancy Grey Stables, Jen Lea Yancey, Betty Clement Adair , Betty Lawson Dillard, Connie Sutton , Ann Seay Jackson, Lillian Belk Youell , Kathy Mumma, Ruth Hiller Powell , Ruth Latimer, Jane Wray McDorman and Gin Pitt Friddell. Incidentally, while we were at the table, just out ?f curiosity we decided to count the number of children rep~esented. The fourteen married girls there represented 22 children. That's some record. Just for your informat ion, there were six expectant mothers there but I'm not going to tell you who they were. You will just have to read subsequent issues of the BULLETIN. Before giving you the news, I want to tell you that after lunch we had a business meeting. This seems quite funny for us to have had a business meeting after being out of school for so long or does it seem like yesterday to you?

Number one on the agenda was "The Scrapbook." I have received several pictures for the scrapbook and others have also. After a great deal of discussion and after various ones had suggested where our Scrapbook might be, it was decided that we would appoint someone to "track" it down. Jane Wray Bristow McDorman is going to do this for our class, but please continue to send pictures to the secretary .

I don't believe that I have told you that after I am married, I will be living in South Carolina.

As you know, Stewart is an engineer for DuPont and he was transferred to Camden the last of March and since we are planning to be married some time in the fall, I thought this was a good time to discuss the subject of a new secretary

[26}

for our class. Don 't misunderstand, it is not that I have not enjoyed being secretary thoroughly (although some of you just wouldn't write to me) but I felt that someone living in Richmond could do a much better job. Connie Sutton and Ruth Latimer are going to be Co-secretaries but until you are advised further , please send all your news to: Miss Constance Sutton Box 165 Bon Air, Virginia Explanation for giving only Connie 's address wi ll follow later.

Everything has something unpleasant about it, doesn't it? So naturally we had such a matter on our agenda . Our finances are NIL and have been for several years. Over a period of time sending out notices to class members, writing to them , enclosing cards for them to return, and purchasing stationary and envelopes add up to quite a sum.

After much discussion as to the best way to provide funds for our class secretary 's expenses for such, it was suggested and decided that each girl wou ld contribute a dollar per year to the class.

At the 1uncheon each girl there contributed a dollar for that purpose and those of you who were not there and wish to contribute to the class secretaris fund may do so by sending a dollar with your news to Connie. As I can recall, this is the first time that our class has ever asked for money for expens es of the secretary.

We also agreed that at least once a year we would try to have a lunch eon.

Now enough of this business and let's get on with the news!

Congratu lations are in order for Betty Biscoe Tibbott. She has another little boy, David Bruce, who was born February 12 ( did not get her Jetter in time for the last BULLETIN). Her other boy, Johnny , was two in February. Betty also wrote that her husband had finished Law School at George Washington University last summer.

One night when I came home from the movies, I had a note on my dresser to call Lillian Belk Youe ll. Finally I reacheci Lillian and she really brought me up to date on the Youells. As you know , Mac had been called ba<:k into the Marines and they had been living in North Carolina . Now they are back at their home, 1215 Dinwiddie Avenue , Richmond, Virginia and will be there at least for the next three years, during which time Mac will remain assigned as a member of the Staff of the Reserve Training Program of the Marines her e in Richmond. Mighty glad that you are back, Lillian. Incidentally, Lillian took some pictures at the luncheon for our scrapbook.

Peggy Clark Huber was in town last week and it was wonderfu l to talk to her. Connie Sutton had lunch with her one ciay but Peggy was unable to be with us at our gathering. She and her husband are still running an antique shop and Peggy is doing some interior decorating. But she is completely fascinated by her "farming." Quote Peggy, "We'll probably have only two peas." Peggy, please keep in touch with us.

Lottie Blanton's address has changed slightly so please make this correction on your address of Annex IV , it is now New Hospilist-instead tal. Gin Friddell had a letter from Lottie and Lottie is still having a gala time at Fort Sam of social lif e.

Houston-plenty The Howes (Ann Clark) have moved from Harrisonburg, Virginia to Elkton, Virginia . Ann visited Ann Seay Jackson severa l weeks ago . She did not have any other address for Ann Howe except Elkton and said that she was sure that Ann wou ld receive her mail. Will let you know when we get a street address.

The Class of '44 sort of beat me to the news about the Kepplers (Anne Fisher) in the last issue.

But in case you did not see it, John Philip Keppler arrived March 4, weighing 5 pounds and 12 ounces and measuring 18 inches. Anne says that his muscles and lungs are fully developed and that little Catherine is fascinated and has to be restrained from patting his head with whatever she a wagon or wooden has in her hand-generally rings. In a later note , Anne told me that they were going to Smith College where "Kep" will be an assistant professor.

Audrey Grubin Fixell has moved into her new home, so please change her address to: 85 Morris Drive, East Meadow, L. I., N. Y. Lib Kibler Keihn has had quite a job on her hands. In addition to teaching this year Lib has been helping Fred some with his research but she says it is mostly "moral support." She says that they probably wi ll continue to Jive in Syracuse after Fred has concluded his studies.

Congratulations, Ruth Latimer. We are indeed proud of you. Ruth has received her Masters in Physical Therapy from the Medical College of Virginia . She has not decided as yet whether she will stay in Richmond or work elsewhere after June. That is why I did not give you an address because if she leaves Richmond , it would be dif ficult for her to be co-secretary with Connie.

Sally Lawson Foster, why don't you write or call some of us? Indirectly I have heard that Sally is teaching at Montrose Elementary School here in Richmond. Would lik e to hear from you, Sally.

Nancy Grey Stables is mighty happy these days.

Linton came home about a month ago and is stationed at Fort Meade. Nancy said that he had to ~tay in until November and after that they did not know what. Nancy did not know that he was even on his way home from Japan.

At the time of our luncheon, Dori s Mills was either in France or Spain . She wi ll be back in Richmond in June and we expect a detailed account of her trip.

At last we have heard from one of our travelers - Jean Motter. In order to bring you up to date with Jean's activities, I would like to quote a portion of the letter she wrote to Gin Friddell and me: "I am sorry not to be a,ble to make the class reunion this year as I have not made one yet, but I'll keep trying and one of these days I'll turn up. Please give my best regards to all who come.

Along about this time of year I think about those hectic last few weeks of our Senior year and all the excitement surrounding our graduat ion . Remember how cold it was that night?

"Since leaving school, I went to work for the Red Cross in the Separation Center at Ft. Meade, Maryland and from there over here to the Far East as a Club Recreation worker. I stayed in that capacity until March of 1948 when I returned for brief period at home in Summerville, South Carol,ina. At that time, the Red Cross clubs were being turned over to the Army for managing and in July of '48 I went over to Germany and did club work with the army in Bremen and Bremerhaven. I did not like Germany as well as Japan and I decided that club work was not what I really wanted to do, so I came home in August of 1949 and went to Woman's College of the Univer sity of North Carolina and took a business course . That lasted until May of 1950. The Ko rean war broke out about that time and I was impatient to get back into the Red Cross and go back overseas. This I did , but this time as a secretary. I arrived here in Japan in October of 1951 and my first assignment was in the town of Sasebo which is right at the very end of the island of Kyushu-the southernmost island in the Japanese chain . I worked at a larg e depot which handled all the United Nations troops en route to Korea and it was a magnificent job as well as a heart breaking one. Convoys of troops rumbled past night and day all the time and the looks on some of their faces ( some were going back over for the third and fourth time) I shall never forget and will forever haunt me. Last summer I was transferred up here to the Tokyo area to Camp McGill and have been here ever since. I am the secretary to the Field Director and like both my work and Camp McGill very much ind eed . I will probably stay here until I go home. My contract expires on October 3 of this year, but I am going to request a six months extension as I am not at all ready to come home. It has been most interesting to be in Japan during the period of her regaining of independence and everything is quite different from my first tour of duty."

Now the latest from the MacKenzies (Anne McElro y): "Anne Stewart continues to grow and get more spoiled every day. On her birthday April 7, she

pulled a scalding cup of coffee off on her and burned her arm badly . She had the old fashioned measles in March and nearly died but we all managed to survive. She's climbing on everything, now , and doesn't give me a moment of peace . If they weren't so cute at this age, I guess no parents would be able to stand them. " Kathy Mumma became engaged to Jack Atkinson this spring and they are planning to be married in the fall of the year. Jack will finish Pharmacy School at MCV this June. Best wishes for all the happiness in the world and let us know where you will be living after you exchange that "Miss" before your name for a "Mrs." I had a nice card from Carrie Trader Drinkard.

She had been visiting for four weeks in Eastern Virginia.

Ann Twombly Leland couldn't make the luncheon but she said to be sure to put her down for our tenth reunion. She and the children came to Virginia in March in search of sunshine and warm weather since they were having a "dilly" of a winter in New York. She said that Diedre was still maintaining a perfect report card, Melissa continues to bathe the goldfish with Lava soap ( when they were not looking) and that littl e Jim Parker, who was celebrating his first birthday while we were having lunch , was into everythin g. Twombly is also becoming a fine nurse too-with both of the girls having their tonsils out within six months .

Marianne Waddill Jones writes that they are all fine and happy . Around July 15th, she, Fred , Ann Latane and Patricia are planning to come to Richmond.

Lib Weaver Martin could not be with us at the gathering because she was busy typing wills, briefs, etc., for Lester. As you know, Lester is in law school at Wake Forest.

Congratulations to Nell White Gillespie. Jean Lynn arrived at the Gillesp-ies May 1. This is Nell's second daughter .

Ruth Anne Lynch (Wicker) informed me that the Lynches are moving to Fork Union, Virginia where Jamie will instruct intramurals in the lower school of the Academy. She hopes that next year, being so close to Richmond , she will be able to participate in some of the Alumnae affairs.

It seems as though I am having a little trouble with the spelling of Jane Woodward 's name- It is TONDETT AR. They are still planning to come to Richmond in September .

Now I wou ld like to bring you up-to-date on some of the girls who started to Westhampton with us. Christy Lou Miller now is Mrs. Jack Russell and has one child. Anne Glazebrook is Mrs . J. Langhorne Tompkins and has one son.

Anne Woodward Hood is Mrs. Ed. Hood and is the mother of three. Hollie Garber married John Kenyon and they have a little girl and a little boy.

Hollie and John have recently moved int o a new home which they had built.

Ellen Brooks Blackweil bas just returned after living in Germany for three years. She has one little boy. While visiting Ann Jackson, she said they would be Jiving in Indianapolis .

You remember Edna Earle Duckhardt? Well , I called her home to get her addr ess and her mother

told me that she had been in Japan for several months with her husband , Captain Charles Metzger .

At this point I think I have run out of news.

It bas been a real pleasure to write to you and has made me feel so much closer to each of you.

Don't forget to send your news (and dollar) to Connie Sutton from now on.

Miss ISABEL AMMERMAN 6000 Crestwood Avenue , Richmond , Va. We begin this Jetter as we begin all our letters with a plea to each of you to write to your group leader very very soon.

With summer now upon us we are beginning to dream of vacations . Some of the class were lucky and took theirs early. Frances Coles was one of those fortunate ones. She took herself to Florida. Virginia Wagstaff will probably be traveling too this summer, since she bas recently acquired a brand new car. Speaking of going places, we hope that Lena Thornton Small and her family will be heading back towards this part of the world this summer. Her family now consists of her husband and a new son. The baby was born on April 25th. Our congratulations to you, Lena Dick .

We are always pleased to have somebody in the class of '4 7 move to Richmond . This time, however, we have to tell of the Elliotts' leaving the city. John has a pastorate in Scottsville, Virginia and they moved there in June .

We have congratulations for one bride and one newly engaged girl. Magie Wingfield married Edward P. Webster of New York on June 7th. He finished the University of Virginia Law School in June. Marie Walthall plans a July wedding to Claude LeSueur . The date is the 26th and the place is the Second Presbyterian Church. Ann Wiley Kelley and Betty O'Brien will be two of her attendants.

We had a long interesting letter from Doris Pitman Rainey . She and Oris have been married for a year now and have a farm and a new house down in Dinwiddie County. Doris is not teaching now but is giving all her time to housekeeping.

Her address is Route 2, Dinwiddie, Virginia .

It was nice to hear from Sylvia H. Silverman.

She lives in New York and has a two year old daughter, Susan Margaret. Her address is 7604 170th St., Flushing , New York. It would be so nice if we bad pictures of all the babies in our class to put in our scrapbook. Don 't forget we have one and that one of these days we will want to show it off.

We have some new addresses to give you. Helen Shea has moved into her new house in Salem, Virginia - Walnut Road , Stonewall Forest. Art and Ann Young Lewis have bought a new house too, this one complete with television. Won 't you send us the address, Ann? Betty McLaughlin has recently transferred to McGuire Hospital as a technician.

out the best with her cute lamp.

Well our first "big" reunion is over and quite a number of '47 came back-35 in all. We had 33 at the dinner on Friday, June 6th, and a good time was had by all. There was much talking, showing of baby pictures and a wonderful talk and movies of the west taken by Marylou and Guy on their trip. Miss Harris' tea on Sunday was lovely and we enjoyed seeing the faculty and everyone so much. Those back for the big event were Beth, Gussie, Marion Huske, Elsie, Betty McLaughlin, Mary Cox, Mimi, Susie, Alice, B. 0., Ollie, Margaret, Lois Rynaldo , Ann Wiley, Shirley, Carolyn , Dottie James, Nancy, Keeling, Polly , Verda, Anne Higgins, Gin, Jean Waldrop, Dottie Hughes, Marie, Betty Tinsley, Izzy, Betsey Slate, Betty Brown , Sara Frances, Marion Collier, Marylou , Doris and Bev. Ollie and Hank and the 3 Stirling children were at the tea. The "baby cup" girl, Alston, is 4 years old now , Hal is 2½, and Carol is 10 months. They were all darling and we were so thrilled to see them-Mama and Papa, too, of course.

We picked up a few more items for our letter at the reunion-2 more babies . Tina Clauter Stapleton and John have a little girl born the end of May . Copie and J. B. have a little boy, J. B. Hudson III, who was also born the end of May. Congratulations to all of you!

Four of our Richmond girls have moved from Richmond, and we surely hated to see them leave .

Betsey Slate Riley and Buddy have moved to St. Paul, Va. Buddy finished the Theological Seminary in June and now has a church in St. Paul.

Nancy Richardson Elliott and John have moved to Scottsville, Va., where John, who also finished at the Seminary this June, has a church . Betty Tinsley Andrews and Dick have moved to Williamsburg. Dick is now working for the Restoration as an engineer . Dottie Hughes will be living in Vicksburg, Mississippi, a_fter her wedding June 14th, and already has a job lined up down there teaching the first grade. We hope all of you will be happy in your new homes and please come back often to visit. We heard that Peggy Hawthorne Charlton and Charles have been living in Dumfries, Va., for several months. Let us know your address, Peggy . Please Jet us know when you change your addresses so we can keep up with you. We have "Jost" one '47'er-does anyone know where Bobby Rock Hardy and family are living now ? If anyone knows, please drop us a card .

JACQUELINEJETER Some mass hysteria seems to have gripped the Class of '48 during the spring. Symptoms are always the same-aversion to fountain pens, inability to write, and a downward trend in the sale of three-cent stamps . The most familiar cry from the group leaders is, "No answer." Cmon girls, Jet's have a little cooperation so we we can hear from everyone. If you have lost contact with your group leader through moving, etc., won't you please write to me? Now, on to what we have learned.

Anne (Bruner) Woo·s summer address is once more Monroe, Virginia. She is again working for Sweet Brier during the vacation months while Tommy is employed in Norfolk. Of course, when September comes, they hope to be back at Louisville for Tommy's third year at the Seminary .

Kitty (Candler) Martin wrote Anne that she was going back to teaching in the fall, even though learning the arts of homemaking and baby care seemed a full-time job. In her "spare" time she is becoming more and more interested in gardening.

Doris Moore, who is always most faithful in reporting the news of her group, didn't write this time, but I have discovered that she has an excellent reason for being too busy this one time .

Ginna Herndon informs me that Doris has a sparkling diamond ring and is making plans for a September wedding. Next time I hope to be able to give you the name of the lucky bridegroom. Ginna, the last time she wrote, was planning to visit with Betty (Hickerson) and Butter in Richmond. Ginna goes again this year in June to be a counsellor at Massanetta.

Emily (Holland) Lineberry gave a very apt description of her little girl and I imagine most of you mothers will know what she means when she says her daughter is in the "kitten stage" and she spends most of her time getting her down from her climbing escapades. Emily tells us that Pat (Parlow) Daniel moved to Connecticut and then back to New York, but I still have no address for her. If anyone hears from her, please Jet me know because we haven't been able to catch up with her for quite a few months.

Florence Goodman was married to Mr. Harrison (Hank) David Weber on Sunday , April 27, at the Essex House in New York City. The Webers are Jiving now in Hartford, Connecticut. Sarah (Brenner) Rubin sent me the cutest picture nf Mark! He was four-and-a-half months at the time and already looking very much like a "man of the world." Sarah said she had seen some W . C. girls in Washington when she went to Ruth Schimmel's wedding. Carol (Buxbaum) Waranch had been to visit her in Richmond and it seems that her daughter is a miniature of Stan.

Another beautiful colored postcard arrived from Hannah Barlow. She said Japan was beautiful in its fruit blossom pastels. She was getting ready to leave for Hakone , which is one of the big resorts near Fiji San. Maria (Carter) and Sat are proud as can be of their two daughters now . Mary Minor arrived on George Washington 's birthday and is a brunette , unlike Alice, who is a blonde. When we were in

(28)

school, Maria 's afternoon wasn 't complete unles s·. she could snatch some time for napping ... . Now she says she feels sure her sleeping days are past forever!

Eleanor (Pitts) Rowan started with , "I celebrated my first wedding anniversary April 21st in an unexpected fashion." I thought she was going : to tell me about a nice party or something, but I was wrong . She "celebrated " by taking a fast trip • to the hospital "to have my obstreperous appendix removed." She has recuperated now and she and Bill are planning quite a few trips for the summer, having purchased a new car. Part of their vacation was spent at the Chamber lin Hotel at Old Point Comfort, and in early October they hope· to drive to New York . Through Eleanor comes the word that Barbara (Wood) Miller is going. to brush up on several courses at the University of Virginia this summer and will commute to Washington on the weekends. She and Lewis are· planning vacation trips to Virginia Beach in June and August.

Faye (Hines) Kilpatrick and Bob will once more . be lucky enough to be Jiving at Virginia Beach during the summer . Faye tells me that Jean (Brumsey) Biscoe's husband , Johnny, will be released from the service in the early part of the summer and . they expect to see them often.

Judy (Barnette) · Seelharst is going to give up teaching next year and devote all her time tohomemaking . I don't wonder that she has been. too busy with the end-of-school activities , inasmuch as she supervised the Junior-Senior banquet, . directed May Day , and directed the class play, any one of which is a pretty good job in itself.

Monty (Elliott) Ownby's new address is Hun ton Hall , Medical College of Virginia, 1200 E. Marshall Street, Richmond , where Ralph has a pediatrics residency after discharge from the service. Mrs. Elliott went out for a two-weeks visit with Monty and Ralph , but flew home when they received word that Mr. Elliott, Russe ll and her baby had been in an automobile accident. Her dad is still in the hospital, but expects to be out and about before too long . Pam (Burnside) Gray had written Monty about a recent trip to Chicago via Pittsburgh where she ran into Nancy Chapin working for T.W.A .

I have a new address for you to add to your list. It is for Marian (Thomson) Goolsby who now lives at 1114 So. Alfred, Alexandria , Virginia .

I suppose everyone gets wanderlust when these summery days come along. Ginna Herndon and I are getting our "ramblin ' shoes" dusted off and again heading westward. Ginna, her cousin who was a member of the trio last year, another Fredericksburg ga l, and I will leave F-burg about the 25th of June for Texas and California and return via Colorado. We'll be away a month or longer so I should have plenty to tell you about when we return . I have given up my job with the West Virginia Insurance Department so imagine my vacation will come to an abrupt halt when I have to begin reading the want ads and pounding the pavements!

I know a great many of you are looking forward to the beaches, mountains , and other favorite haunts, so let us hear all about your vacation time, too. Happy summer to you all!

Secretary

HATHAWAYPOLLARD 239 South Hawthorne Road Winston-Salem , N . C. Apologies from me to you for a misunderstanding of the deadline for summer BULLETIN news.

Having thought the news due in June , I had planned to contact our group leaders accordingly, and did not have time to do so upon notification from the alumnae office of a May deadline.

I did have a bit of news on hand at the time which I'm sure you will all enjoy .

Betty and Fred Dick's son, Frederick William, Jr., was born April 19. Also a new son for Jean and Jules Kluger , born April 26, and named Joel Steven.

Anne Kraft and Ruby Weber reported alumnae activities bustling in Richmond , with an attendance of almost 400 at the benefit bridge party of April 25, "an event enjoyed by all and tnO Jt successful."

Some new addresses which I did not include in the spring BULLETIN. Mrs . Richard Foster (Pat Driscoll) 330 Haven Ave., New York, N. Y. Mrs. Alec Finleyson (Mary Burton Haskell) 1810 Hinman Ave., Evanston, Ill. Mrs. George W. Goforth (Joyce Roberson) 1106 Bedford Ave., Altavista, Va. Mrs . Donald P. O 'Donnell (Gevie Nager) 1360 Midland Ave ., Bronxville, N. Y. I am ashamed to mention the much-talked-of address list again, but at least can say that I'm in search of a mimeograph machine-so keep what little faith remains with you that one will be forthcoming. And one day it really and truly will.

1950

Secretary MRS. M. B. PIERCE (Elizabeth Givens) 1533 Charles Street , Richmond, Virginia Now that the alumnae activities and commencement are over and girls in the Class of '50 have returned home, it is grand to think about our first reunion. It was a real thrill to see approxi mately forty girls from our class at the different reunion activities, but we wish even more of you could have been present. Not only our local girls , but also girls from distant p laces such as Libby Rowse from California and Ludie Hickerson Wiley from New York City returned to Westhampton for the weekend of June 6-8.

Beginning our reunion activities was a banquet at Ewart ' s Cafeteria on Friday evening , which was attended by approximately thirty-two girls in our class. Piggy Wells did a grand job as "mistress of ceremonies" and presided over the class business meeting which was he ld following the dinner . Piggy read my resignation as class secretary and then a new plan for writing the class letter was discussed. Under this plan the group leaders in Richmond wi ll form a committee with the chairman being the class secretary. The committee will write the dass letter for each BULLETIN, thereby making the duties of the class secretary a little lighter. The class approved this plan and also elected Piggy as the new class secretary .

Next the financial report of the Class of ' 50 for the past two years was read and the class voted that each girl would be asked to contribute a dollar to replenish the class treasury . Most of the girls present paid this dollar and we are asking the girls who could not be there to please send their contribution to Betty Gray Finney, 1605 Lakefront Avenue, Richmond, Virginia .

Doris lee Reeves has done a splendid job on the scrapbook and she had it on display that evening .

If you have not sent her a clipping or a snapshot, please send it to her right away at 2312 Park Avenue, Richmond, Virginia, for we do want to keep the scrapbook up to date.

We were happy that Miss Rudd could attend the banquet with us and bring us some items of news about activities on the campus during the past year.

Saturday morning some of the girls from our class attended the Westhampton Alumnae meeting . It was interesting to learn that some girls in our class are taking an active part in local alumnae groups. Barbara Brann Swain and Jean Barbour Wyatt are officers in the Ha lifax Alumnae Club. Also Joanne Waring and Julie Wann have been doing outstanding work with the Washington, D . C., group, especially in connection with their high school night program.

More gir ls from the Class of '50 joined us for the Alumnae luncheon in honor of the Senior Class given in the Westhampton dining rooms.

It was such a treat to go over to Miss Rudd's home for the tea given that afternoon for our class.

About twenty girls enjoyed the delicious and attractive refreshments which Miss Rudd served on her patio. Some of the faculty members who were there to chat with us were Miss Rivenburg, Miss Harris and Dean Roberts . A very special guest at the tea was Ann Dorsey James' little girl who was so cute with a litt le pink pinafore and a pink rib bon in her hair. Our appreciation goes to Miss Rudd for the many nice things she did as our sponsor during the whole reunion.

Of course, when this many members of the Class

of '50 get together a lot of news was exchanged .

One of the big items was the weddings which have taken place and will take place this summer.

We were happy to see Louise Triplett at the reunion and to hear about her marriage to Bob Fridley at Elizabeth City, North Caro lina thi s winter. Bob is pastor of the Branch Memorial Methodist Church in Richmond. In April , lee Davis became Mrs. Cedric R. Head in Boonton , New Jersey. lee and her husband are working with the Kingsland Marionettes. On May 7, Nancy Chapin became the bride of Alexander Phillips.

They are living in Ok lahoma since their marriage .

Several girls in our class will say "I do" thi s summer. Joy Hull will be married to Carlton Blandford Bolte in Northside Baptist Church on Ju ly 12. Betty Gray Finney is planning her wed ding to Arthur N. Tuttle, Jr ., for August 9 in St. Giles Presbyterian Church. Arthur has been doing graduate work in architecture at Princeton University and expects to enter the army in September. On August 16, Frances Sutton will become the bride of Raymond Eugene O liver in the Christian Church at West Point , Virginia . In June , Fran went to New Haven, Connecticut for Raymond's graduation from Yale Divinity School.

The new babies in our class were another news item at the reunion. May 29 was the date of the birth of Dorothy Seldon Gardner, daughter of Dot Warner Gardner and her husband. Two days later Bea Covington O'Flaherty and Billy became the proud parents of a baby boy, William Jefferson, born on May 31. A boy was born to Charlotte Westervelt Bispham and her husband in Delaware on May 6.

Summer time being vacation time is also travel time for girls in the Class of '50 . Mary Sullivan Tinder and Cecil will leave the United States the middle of July for Europe and will tour nearly all the European countries until the middle of September. Also Europe-bound are Sue Huff and her sister. Another lucky girl in our class is Doris lee Reeves who spent a week's vacation in June in Nassau, Bahamas. I'm sure there are other girls in the class who are having interesting trips this summer, so be sure to let your group leader hear your vacation news ¡ and here's hoping each of you has a grand time.

One girl really seeing the world is lorane Graves, who has accepted a job with an oil company in Arabia for two years. Now that Claire Noren has completed her work at Radcliffe Col lege , she has taken a position as personnel assistant with Sylvania Electric Company in Boston .

Coming East from Akron, Ohio is Emily-Ann Mintz who is doing secretarial work at the PanAmerican Union in Washington, D. C. Since completing graduate work, Marianne Beck is back in Richmond working for the Virginia Tuberculosis Association. One of our teachers who is working this summer is Doris Balderson who is doing secretarial work at Richmond Hardware Company.

A former member of our class, Peggy King Nelson, is moving to Philadelphia this summer where her husband , Earl, has secured a job. Earl received his degree in business administration from the University of Richmond in June.

My thanks go to Jean Tinsley who helped me compile this letter for the BULLETIN. Since this will be my last letter as class secretary, I do want to express my appreciation to each of you for your cooperation during the past two years. let's all give Piggy and the group leaders our best support!

1951

Secretary MRS. ROBERT M. JONES (Charlotte Herrink) 214 S. Boulevard, Richmond, Virginia We have now been alumnae for one year, and so much has happened to our class members that it's difficult to keep up with everyone .

I received a letter from Pat Atwill several weeks ago and she's got some important news for this issue. First, and the most important item about Pat, is her coming marriage to Cpl. Bill Wright Schwarz on June 14th . Bill is from Williamsburg and is now a research chemist with the Army, stationed in Huntsville, Alabama. He is supposed to get out of the Army in November . Since Octo-

[ 29)

Pat has also been working in the Little Theater at Virginia Beach and is a member of the Junior Woman 's Club .

I'm sure that everyone who saw May Da y thoroughly enjoyed it. It was beautiful and the Class of '52 had perfect weather for th e event .

Many girls from our class were there-it wa s practically a Class Reunion. Among those present were Eleanor Wright Weston, Joy Hodgkins Legg , and Doris Goodwyn Bridgeforth. Joy will be here in Richmond with her parents for the coming year since Johnny is in Korea until September '53.

Weddings, weddings, and more weddings! Ann Marie Hardin and Ben were married on June 21st. Betsy Bethune and Norma Streever were in the wedding . Libba 'Eanes' wedding was also on the 21st of June.

I hear that Bobbie Brown 's wedding on May 17th was beautiful. Bobbie had a garden wedding and was fortunate to have perfect weather for it .

Elizabeth McRae Dudley and Pat Smith were in Bobbie's wedding and Sue Pitts and Betsy Bethune served at the reception . Bobbie and Myron are living here since returning from Sea Island, Georgia where they went on their honeymoon .

Helen Blackwelder has been very busy since returning from Europe last fall. Helen taught Modern Dance at the Y.W.C.A. for a while and has also been doing some choir work and has been taking swimming. Her main job with the "Y " is with the World Fellowship service and Helen seems to Jove it .

Maryglyn Cooper who has been teaching school in Florida , will be here in Richmond thi s summe r to go to school for a few courses.

Millie Waters Harford and Jim have gon e to Paris for two years and I know they will have a wonderful time. Liz Latimer and Charlotte Houchins went to Millie 's wedding.

Marilyn Montague Harper and T. G. have moved to an apartment house near the Williamsburg highway.

Liz Latimer is now working for the Juvenile Court in Washington and Jo Asbury Hopkins is with the long Island Telephone Company. Start ing in September, Pat Smith will teach piano at St. Catherine's school.

Henrietta Dow Vinson is working at th e Nor folk shipyards. Her work has something to do with the printing of plans. They are moving into a house soon .

round of the parties and drank in the stori es of the good old days when football players were in the game for the durat ion, when the Chri stmas Eve fire destroyed th e administration building on th e old campus, when "toe pulling " was a favorite indoor sport , and when the ladies- God bless th em-were regularly enrolled stud ent s in Richmond College.

From the g irls who came back for the re unions , Friddell dr ew out a chain of memories.

M emor ies of "chiggers in the Spanish

moss imported for the Junior Prom sunbathing on the first spring day . . the rush for irons just before a dance . . . the watchman locking the gates too soon . . . the last streetcar to run on the Westhampton line . . the seventh-inning stretch during exams . . . rain on May Day . . . blue roads in the rain . . . the lamp post to which they had to bow as freshmen ."

The 1942 men , who worked particularly hard in lining up their reunion, published a booklet listing the careers of the class members. The survey revealed that 89 per cent of the class members are married . Sixty-eight per cent of those who are married have children (an average of 1.4 child). Eighty-one per cent served in World War II -4 6 per cent in the Navy , 32 per cent in the Army, and 22 per cent in the Air Force.

From the Westhampton class of '50 (the photographer arrived too late, but he took a picture of the deserted banquet hall to prove he had been there) to the classes of 1901 and '02 which met jointly as the guests of Dr. J. P . McCabe, the old grads were all agreed on one thing: " Ours was the best class in the history of the University.

Williams School of Law and th e entir e Univ ersity. Other noteworthy events of the year included th e establi shment of two Reserve Officers' Training Corps unit s (Army transportation and Air Force) , the completion of the $275,000 Alumni-Stud ent Center Building, authorization for the construction of a new $400,000 law school building on th e main campus, and the organization of a school of Christian education with 407 persons enrolled in classes in Norfolk , Roanok e, Richmond, and Baltimore.

Gu ests of honor at th e dinner were: Dr. H erman P. Thoma s, '17, prof essor of economics , who has rounded out twenty-five years as a member of the University of Richmond faculty. His career was reviewed in a eulogy by Dr. Vernon B. Richardson, '35, president of the General Society of Alumni. [ 32}

Earlier in the day, Westhampton old grads had listened at the Alumnae Hour to Mrs. Elizabeth Burns Gaylor, '32, and Mrs. Jean Grant , '42, who spoke on the subjects: "Do You Enjoy a Show? ' and "A Biologist in Public Health."

Members of senior classes were guests of honor at luncheons on both sides of the lake.

Three men, each chosen as the outstanding graduate in his class, were given medals and were elected to the Alumni Council.

After lunch , the men moved out to Mill hiser Field to watch the first annual High School invitational track meet whi ch was conducted under the expert direction of Track Coach Fred Hardy. The meet brought to the campus a galaxy of champions from Virginia's high and preparatory schools.

Credit for the success of Alumna e and Alumni Day activities was shared by committees headed by Mrs. Thomas C. Yeaman , ' 29, and Rob ert R. Martin, '39.

An Adventure (Co11ti1111 ed from page 2)

What such programs as these can do to promote world understanding was summed up by one of the trainees in th e closing days of the program. "We have learn ed about an America which is so different from that which most Europ eans know . To und erstand Am erica- h er peoples and institution s-o ne must visit this great country. High sky scrapers, television and mechaniz ed people are not America. The country has its own beauty, wh ether you think of th e hills , th e great plains, the rolling landscape , th e winding rivers or the endless cottonfi elds in the South , all of which we were so und eservingly fortun ate to see. W e got to love it and to love th e people who live her e and who showed us so much ho spitality , cordi al interest, good will, friendliness and even mor e than that. While in America we were ambassadors of our own country, but when we return - whether in the large cities or small hamlets - ther e will be those of us who can say to our countrymen V:-hodo not know or understand America - America is not as you say for I was there."
